Its also clearly to stop the crowd who turn around and claim every fish to be gut hooked or fought till it died
Very true, sadly nothing is being done with all the nets in the area .How many fish can we as fishermen catch per day and how many fish is being caught on a daily basis by net,..my 2c

Do you think that one will be able to launch a small boat at Fanies? :ScooT:

This pic was taken in the recent month ...charters creek...
when days are dark...Fish are few ...Tag it, or bag it.

I did not take the photo...my friend who lives in matuba did
Yes....a guy did launch his boat there

I would suggest if you do launch there its best to launch with a 4×4 with low range , and better if you have a winch as backup...
Launching too far out...maybe you can encounter  soft sand , mud clay or quick sand

close to the wooden walk on pier ...the is a cement ramp slipway....
early last year we did launch from the slipway...when the water was till the banks
when days are dark...Fish are few ...Tag it, or bag it.
Sharks swim slow before they attack.
