Fish Frames at the Ramp - Blatant Waste

[blaze]

lucky I suppose, clean at sea legally.
Had an arguement with a guy once on the Stanley Wharf (deep sea port) as I threw my frames in the water, dropped the bucket on the rope and rinsed the wharf where i cleaned my fish. His idea was to leave it on the wharf for the seagulls to clean (carry all around town) and because I threw it in the water the seals would come in a be a pest. Now I understand about the seals but have fished there for 30 years and they really dont cause that much of a problem( the seals come, fish stop biting, seals go and the fish start biting again.
But it back where it come from
cheers

Sounds like the same old story...... A few people who don't think (or give a shit)
could ruin it for everyone else.
Besides that...imo.. you should be able to fillet your fish at sea if you want to, leave the skin on, what's the problem with that? Fish fillets freeze well with the skin left on and the flesh side left together in a sealed bag. Also they don't go near tap water. Bang the skin off when it's thawed out.
Surely fillets can be measured.
As others have said .... at least it goes back where it came from.

I didn't think you kept any fish?? I mean anybody that throws back a nice big reef jack surely doesn't keep anything else!!! yep the red bass fiasco is still amusing me.

Just because I am a Dumb arse,

Let's say:If I catch a reef fish, Re Spangled Emperor

Being my lucky day the fish is 63cms,
I am a complete loser when it comes to filleting
and I take a fillet out that is 39cm one side and 42cm the other
is this fish then legal?
Or I have taken a fillet that is 40cm+ and then the other is less than that
so i keep the frame as to prove that this in fact is the fish I caught and the Fillets that belong to it. I am in the wrong also?

Because as my simple mind understands this currently, You are to remove the pec fin ( if a keeper) before it goes on ice/ or kept. You are not allowed to fillet a fish at sea. You are only allowed to Gut and Gill.

The way I read the above from the DPI is that if you can take a fillet off that is greater than 40cm and scales left on that you can indeed fillet at sea?

Can you guys offer me some clarity on this.

Geeze finding time... I'm not going to here the end of that for a while by the look of it
Least no one will stand on the frames at the ramp and get poisoned by the bass

I have been fishing out of Buddina for 10 years.

Leaving heaps of frames in people's way is not acceptable, however I will continue to fillet my fish at the ramp and throw the frames well out because that makes more sense then stinking out a bin or helping the local rat population to flourish.

I don't think it' s a huge issue.

I agree, all it takes is to wade out a bit and throw them into deeper water AT ALL CLEANING STATIONS supplied. SO SIMPL.E

Oh!! A sign for the hard to understand persons, along with a Pic for the

what about all the ignorant people that pee me off with my issues of the ramp/pontoon. There are signs there maybe they need pictures [smiley=huh2.gif]

[westie]

That is what I mean . Some you can put pictures up and still find a reason not to do the right thing.

By the way nice to see you back on the site as you have been very quite of late, anyone would think you have been busy fishing . Or doing like a lot of otheres boat repairs and reel rebuilds, line replacement just incase the weather changes and we can go fishin, instead of climbing the walls at home.

NOW HERE IS THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOUR FISH FRAMES AND SKINS

First you have to find out where YOUR LOCAL QLD HON. MEMBER LIVES ( HE/SHE the POLLIE was advised and voted for the regulation)
THEN you take ALL your frames skins etc to HIS/HER house and DUMP them in THEIR front yard.

Second you have to find out where the Bureaucrat (QUEENSLAND FISHERIES SERVICE) who advised the MEMBER lives and give HIM/HER the same TREATMENT.

AND if all else fails take your frames skins etc and dump them over the fence of YOUR local FISHERIES OFFICE etc.

If enough of US did this then you can bet that the HON MEMBER would get HIS/HER arse into gear to find out why WE are doing this (as most of them have NO IDEA of ANYTHING FISHING) and MAYBE AMEND these RIDICULOUS REGULATIONS to allow us to fillet on the water leaving the skin on the fillet of ALL legal sized fish.

THINK ABOUT IT!

Now thats a practice that would put you in jail. but would solve the problem

[baldyhead]

Only if they can prove that you did it

Toss a decent size backbone in some seasoned flour and onto the hotplate with a little oil and butter...Hard to beat eats.
I be keepin mine

yep or toss the frames and head into apot to make a bellisimo soup or stock ,i mean its about time we start getting a better percentage food volume,(less wastage) out of a 2 or 3 year old fish ,look at a meat pie or a meat lovers pizza or a salami and you'll see just how much food volume comes out of a 3 yo cow ,its all not made out of a slab of wholesome rump
