Snapper up to 2kg caught at end of pier (about 8). It was packed with people, couldn't get a spot there. A lot of undesize pinkies were kept. Makes me sick. Where are the Fisheries. The usual crowd from the Warmies at Newport are taking over the pier. HELP, for the bay's sake. |

There were about 4 undersize gummies caught by other fishermen. Massive ray was hooked but it could not be stopped. There were hundreds of jellyfish around. Happy fishing. |
