You have more faith in common sense been applied than me, would like to see it happen but not holding my breath.

yeah it’s just my luck the boat has been gathering cobwebs all through the summer and now I’ve got a week free it’s blowing a hoolie. Should be able to find some shelter in the creeks on the east, but unless I can see a couple of good days it’s hardly worth the tow down, so could end up doing some spinning from the shore.

either way I don’t mind, a week off work relaxing on the coast, a bit of wind and rain won’t dampen my spirit.

I meant experienced fleet as in quite a few decent skippers with years of experience in our waters....ageed it's a new learning curve regards methods, catch and release, tagging etc...perhaps as you point out our skippers are too set in their ways to change from drifting a wreck or sharking...there is a real opportunity for forward thinking skippers now though...as you know the tuna are here in numbers every year now....

Could be a very profitable venture if done well

It is potentially massive. Not just to the skippers but for the areas. At a time when this tourism and fishing is slowing down the added money into accommodation and services, restaurants etc would be brilliant.

A bad days fishing is always better than a good days work

I saw that in the news. That’s some fish that!! They have a pretty well established tagging programme going on over there. It’s all good stuff to see.

A fella once mentioned, if you like your job you will never do a days work in your life, and guess I’m lucky as I love my job.

still enjoy fishing more though
