Moral Question

[Jewmaster]

Would you catch a couple of fish each at one spot and than go home or will you fish on untill you have caught your bag limit and filled your esky

[Brett_Finger]

I ticked the bottom one, but i usually don't keep any fish,if i do it's one or two flatheads (small males)

Ditto to BF. I'm not a big fish eater. Don't mind some nice fresh whiting or flatty though.

Interesting question,

Normally I would only ever keep a feed for that day, but I have been eating a lot of fish lately and it has come from the market #

Next time I get amongst a few I intend to keep more than a feed to help out with the Christmas barbies etc.

I have had a really poor spell lately, but once that's over I will go back to just keeping a feed again. #

Cheers
Steve.

I keep everything I catch no matter what size or how many. I consider that all the times I have been without any fish then I've got a lot of catching up to do and will never break even with the limits.
Even jennies and 100mm bucks taste the same, you don't know what your missing. The small contraband that I take wouldn't make 1 iota of a difference to the fish numbers so stuff all the regulations, I'm doing it 4 myself!

Depends what sort of fishing. If I am after a feed of whiting I will catch a feed and then go and chase some flatties on lures for the fun of it.

Jack fishing I may keep one or two for a feed but normally they all go back. I will still keep fishing for the hell of it letting the rest go.

Beach fishing I will catch a feed and then go back to camp.

Lure fishing they all go back no matter what they are.

its good to keep a feed and some to freeze then i release the rest i do hate to see wasted fish though.like when you see fish just dumped in the bin at the ramp or in the bush when out camping.just catch what you can use. cheers

Thankyou for the replies and votes, its good to see there is only one person who seems to think it is appropiate to rape the fish stocks, good to see the majority aren't ignorant of the impact we ALL have on fish stocks no matter how small we feel our impact is.

Have a great one

[Dominator]

Thats a good question JM. ???

Generally when i go fishing i never even reach my limit on fish.

However when i do get onto a few i will keep what i consider to be enough for a feed.

As i love my fish that can be a few

Cheer,

Dominator.

Hey Jewie I think the best sort of fishing is to net the whole river from one side to the other mate with a very small guage net so nothing can escape you.Sometimes some idiot in aboat messes up your net with their outboard, you were there first so they should have more respect for a persons property.
