oh yeh whille i am venting what about the dimise of the humble fishing comp, here in SA there use to be a fair few fishing comps spread out over the year but thses seem to be getting fewer in number, maybe the GFC had something to do with it as i guess money is tight for everyone but really come on bring back my the fishing comp's, i know they may not be politically correct but i don't care

At least it is an outlet for you BB.  Very relaxing is fishing!

With all the marine parks that are being designated here in NSW it's a wonder we are able to fish at all.............time will come I suppose.

I used to be president of a local fishing club and the thing that stopped us was public liability insurance. It got so expensive, we couldn,t afford it , so no competitions.A bit sad , really.The annual Mackerelama was good fun.Clubs have to be covered for everything , these days.

 ken, if you can seeing as you are on the penninsular head down towards the "foot" marion bay has a good c'van park, not bad fshing down there at the moment for land based if you can't get out on the water

Must be plenty of fish  at Edithburgh, just come from there & must be at least 20 boat trailers at the ramp. Nephew is a pro fisherman here & recons we need a good bit of rough weather as its been too calm for too long & the fish have slowed down.
