I have just been made aware that there is a pro netting licence up for sale in the mandurah estuary with no restrictions on species or T A C what a sell out by fisheries. All the talk of buying back licences etc was just a snow jow to falsley keep the rec fishers in the mandurah of their case. First thing tommorrow I'm going to be in Kim's office and give him a piece of my mind about the trechory that is about to be done. I believe that Recfish west sat down with the pros association and had a gentlmans agreement that there would not be any increases in the amout of pros fishing the estuary system. What has happened to the buying back of licences by Dof using the funds from the money rec fishermen put into DoFs kitty.

I ask all members in the Mandurah area to get into Kim Hames office and give him a good serve the businesses in mandurah should take note of this day that will be recorded as a day of treachory by DoF. It will be interesting to see just how much raping and pilaging of the fish stocks will be done by whoever buys this licence when the local shops start bto notice trade dropping off because people won't stop at mandurah to do a bit of fishing from bridges etc because there is no fish it will all be to late. Locals, when you go into a shop now ask them what are they going to do when it becomes known that there is no limit on the amount and type of fish that can be caught with this licence. To recfishwest members get your association to get into the deputy premiers wax ie Kim Hames who has an office in falcon
