Pin Choppers

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

there is no inshore TRAWLING allowed at the pin - it used to be allowed in the broadwater not so long back - you'd have lizards & whiting leaping off each around crab island other one day then it would be like a desert the next.

The was an article in Fishing Monthly from a journo who conned his way on an inshore boat & the bycatch was obscene - the destruction of juvenile fish, weed beds & associated habitat was immense.

The authorities obviously knew this a long time ago when the pin restrictions were put in place. You'll still see the gill netters though.

Yea trolling is fine. We picked up a feed near the Bar last Sunday. The first couple were trolling then changed to metal. The boats sure were thick just inside the break itself but plenty of fish further in towards Crusoe
