- Hey guys, Just thought I would upload the interview with the fisheries regarding the last video I posted crabbing with Brett. Unfortunately none of us have read the rules in the last 20 years and had to pay an expensive lesson because of it! Uploaded for educational purposes so everyone can learn from our mistake! Happy Crabbing
man ultimately the fisheries dude was ultra respectful. the germs in this situation are the reporters.
Fisheries have a job to do and they seemed fair. But to those who complained I hope your forever getting wind knots and crocs eat your pots.
And may their socks forever be wet
And may they constantly be sharked
And stub their toe
Lol wind knots 👌
probably was a vegan
Meanwhile at the local warf 1 million undersized fish are getting taken and not a fisheries officer in site
When I see people with undersize fish in there bucket I "accidentally trip" and kick it in the water 🤣
Sight.
Atleast the fisheries officers were fairly lenient and respectful. At the end of the day there was no female or undersized crabs that were kept and the pots were marked albeit incorrectly. As for the cooking of live crabs clearly someone has it out for old tim tim the turtle. good on you tim for taking it on the chin. I've been fishing in QLD all my life and have never been pulled up by fisheries for anything, so seeing the process was in fact educational.
I only fish a couple of times a month on average. In the last year I have been intercepted by Fisheries twice and water police 3 times
I have no respect for qld fisheries they are dogs same for their shithouse management.. Nsw fisheries are legends never had any issues with them they are super helpful! 🍻
To the person who called the fisheries you are the scumbag. Not the boys for making an honest mistake. Glad it all worked out the moment you bs them they throw the book at you. Great videos mate.
F me getting dubbed in for a crabbing video very sorry to see this big fella.
On a brighter note this is a great educational video so thank you for putting it out.
Never ever commented ever on a video and dont do social media because of scumbags like the ones who dobbed you in for a rubbish technicality like that. You would be better off without subscribers or veiwers like that. Good to see you back making content frequently. Keep up the good work.
I once was fishing in a marine park without knowing in Narooma. The fisheries pulled up and let me know im fishing in a marine park and breaking the law and im horrified. They showed me the signage I have to look out for and educated Me. No fine no problem just education, great guys.
So easy to do even with maps on your finder. At Port Stephens we have Marine Parks / Sanctuary Zones everywhere & unless you see the markers which could be on the land or water then you won’t know, they should be marked better for tourists.
Drinking game. Take a drink every time Timmy says 'yep'
I could feel the nervousness too
Yep
@@jerrodbraithwaite1065 For sure!
@@Coxy10vids Hahah
My organs died
Well done Tim. Coping it on the chin and educating us followers.
As for the lagers ,Un Australian.
Love the videos mate! Thanks for always being straight up! So shit that people dobbed you in instead of letting you know first!
Good on you , your the best fishing chanel ,straight forward no bullshit😁
Only in Australia can you walk into a place of authority shoeless I love it
its the fisheries they cant do shit
Lol that would be standard here in NZ too
Only in qld the rest of the states at least demand you wear thongs
You did the rite thing and took it on the chin Timmy and that fisheries inspector was a decent person, and thanks to him, he used his discretion and only gave you one infringement notice. (a good learning curve).
Pity about the ASS HOLES who dobbed you in though, lets just leave it at that.
Thankyou for the informative video and keep up the good work Timmy.
Someone dogged the boys on this one 🤔 at least they were nice to you Timmy. Love that you took the time to video this and educate others while you were being educated yourself mate. Keep up the good content bro 👌🏽
Thanks for the video Tim. If people watch your old videos they would see you cleaning up old abandoned pots.
Strangely enough that was also illegal .. crazy world we live in eh
Well handled Timmy. Credit to the officer as well. Ultimately it is a very good educational video. Shitty situation - shame on the people reporting.
from a viewers phone call.. what has this world come to. This all could have been solved with a warning over the phone.
Exactly fam they're just haters
they are scum commie dogs that need to be sent to china to live with their brothers!
good to know you have the fisheries watching every video you upload now...
Well done Timmy, not many people showing their screw ups thats for sure. The changing of owner to operator naming convention was, in my opinion, a money grab and pointless. Ungodly the number of floats and tags I have at home for people that might visit once a year and go for a crab...
This is actually a great educational video for Fisheries.
Good on you Timmy 👍
I’m sure that the fisheries are now subscribed to your channel 🤦😜
Thanks for having the courage to post this video Timmy. It was an honest mistake, one that saved a lot of other people in possibility making the same mistake.
Now that's taking one for the team.
Great video and great info for all crabbing enthusiasts
What sort of dog makes a Karen call over a crabbing video.
The one to be put down
A 5 times jabbed MSM watching Karen that stands with Ukraine
@@dannygeed9322 that's special Danny and your probably spot on lol. p.s. you forgot to mention the fact they're quite OK with their preschool children getting their sex education from a bunch of drag queens with size 50 tits as well. Just sayn...
competing crabbers.
@@kizzjd9578 was it you?
So...
1. Tag your pots top and bottom with the users info, not the owner.
2. 4 pots per person.
3. If you're planning on putting out 8 pots for 2 people and you know the 2nd person can't go out to retrieve them, only set 4.
On another note, they should have a river clean up day or week in each state where you can't set pots prior to that date so the locals can go out and pull up old abandoned pots with no fine. Like, you can't set pots from Monday, fishing club clean-up day is Wednesday, Thursday is back to business as usual, and Friday is a big crab crab cook up celebration at the club.
Mate, I take my hat off to you for making this episode to start with. The manner in which the fisheries officer conducted his interview and investigation is very professional, and more than fair. Accidents happen mate, and yourself and Brett, who started out to make a video that helped people crab more efficiently, turned out to be a ‘trollers’ target for bringing someone down. For the amount of good you do on your videos Tim, one lapse in judgement is never going to undermine that. Fisheries and Water Police have they’re jobs to do and without them it’d be a free for all for the illegal fishers etc, and the fact that the officer gave you the absolute minimum possible showed that he knew that it was not a case of deliberate, illegal practises with malice intended, but had to act, due to there being numerous complaints. Isn’t it sad though that people these days are just looking for something to bring someone down. Great video mate. 👌🏻😉
Not professional at all. Idle threats of 8 charges if he doesn't accept the charges of 1 fine. Totally vexatious and extremely unprofessional. Blackmail is terrible and unconscionable.
No wonder fishos are thick headed dummies.
@@AHPOutdoors I have to disagree mate. I believe that the amount of good that Tim does was taken into consideration and the fact that some trivial minded individual has made an official complaint means that it had to be acted on by fisheries. In order to go to court the cost is from my understanding approximately $4,000.00, and if some one were to challenge the fisheries office, those costs have to be paid for by the defendant if they loose. Fisheries wouldn’t go to court without the required evidence to prosecute, in this case all documented. I believe this to be the reason that the fisheries officer explained that there would be more fines to answer to if it proceeded to court. It’s just the way it is I suppose. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no law enforcement officer, but this is my understanding of how it has worked for many years. It does seem to me that the fisheries officer showed his empathy for both Tim and Brett, and administered the minimum fines possible, considering that it was all on camera, and narrated by Timmy. Whilst it was in the scheme of things minor offences, they can accumulate to significant amounts of cash if administered the way the law spells it out. We all have our own opinion on topics like this, but I reckon it couldn’t have gone any better for Tim and Brett than it did. 😉🧐
Thanks Tim and thanks the Fisheries lob well done be a friend to to us fishers
Top bloke can't argue with his approach at all understand he has a job to do and the only reason the rules are changing like this is because of dogs stealing and checking other people's pots
Stay away from the crabs Timbo stick to the fish! 🤣 glad this guy looked after you and we all learned something today! Keep it up bud!
Having a nark , great Aussie part time, the fisheries guys very fair and respectful
Timmy can’t afford shoes but offers to pay for the fine. Legend mate!
Welcome to the club mate the amount of people if they don’t see certain things will report you happens to me all the time and I talk to the fisheries and I tell him what happened and they’re all good here in the Northern Territory
Educational video Tim, thank you for showing it. I’ll bet the Dibby dobbers didn’t mention the positives I.e. undersized and females returned to the water and even half full crabs thrown back. I too wish them many wind knots.
Glad you recorded this . I was unaware of he rule change to require tags for each user on the boat .
Thanks for the video mate and a good end result all things considered. What should happen from here is that everyone should like and share Timmy's videos so that the brave keyboard warriors, Karen and/or Darren, have their entitled stupidity thrown back in their faces.
What a great video it is good to show the ups and downs. Well done for being a legend as always
Timmy your a legend keep up the good work and don't let this set you back
maybe the people that had an issue could have sent Timmy and Brett a message as a heads up on the correct rules for crabbing. Good vid though Tim and great way to bring awareness to everyone else out there. Fisheries mate handled this well and issued more of a warning more than anything. Look forward to the next crabbing vid.😁
Your assuming common sense and and all around good nature that some one clearly lacks. Karma will have timmys back and it will come around cheers mate
That’s shit You had to go through that 😢 but good to know the rules thanks for the info man 🤙
🤦♂️
As Mr Brady always said “nobody likes a taddle tale”.
When the fisheries guy said only authorised officers can remove them, my thoughts were then it's time for fishing clubs to step up and get their local member of parliament to push for combined clean up days much like 4wd clubs do. As for the fines, I think this was handled well and a reminder that filming our actions can have expensive consequences. Not that I am condoning the actions of those dobbing them in.
For the amount of views this video will get, I recon he could have given you a warning on film as an educational video.
They would have saved more on the advertising than they made off your fine. I know they get the money from the fine and the videos still projects the information, but more blokes would have respect for the fisheries officers if they didn’t think they were just revenue raisers
Timmy you look like a little kid in the principles office 😂
I have no issues with the fisheries officers, they are doing their job and doing it well with a lot of discretion. However the QLD ACT is ridiculous and should be amended. Yes the apparatus needs to be labelled top and bottom, but just because a guest in the boat throws or retrieves the apparatus should not mean you rename the apparatus. The apparatus should be named as the owner of the apparatus. In the event the owner of the apparatus is not in the boat, then yes the apparatus should be renamed.
Fisheries are out for revenue, nothing more. They aren't your friends. Wake up.
It's funny, imagine renaming the pot for a guest.
Croc drags it a couple hundred meters and you don't find the pot.
Guest goes back to their own country.
You find the pot on your next trip and pull it up, fisheries will now fine you for having a pot that is not in your name..
FML
The enforcement should always be with respect to the intent of the regulation. The intent of the regulation is just to be able to contact and assign responsibility for the trap’s being laid. The fisheries guy was very reasonable, when he described his approach.
Lowest of low to dob you in, You think you were doing the right thing and someone chucks a stink. probably just jealous they couldn't get any crabs. So many crab pot thieves out there and nothing gets done.
Timmy the poacher!
I too was under the impression that you can set the amount of pots multiplied by the persons aboard. I'm allergic to crustaceans so I am highly sought after to come out crabbing and prawning lol (I do have my own pots as i like crabbing)
Personally I don't like having an address on the pots as its a privacy concern to me, ie someone steals your pot and then they have an address of where they can find more fishing gear and no one home. I would prefer a registered fisheries ID number like the pros have.
Don't put your full address. Street name, suburb and postcode is all they need to verify your name matches address. Leave the street number off the tags and you're all good.
@@easyinshorefishing haven't had my address listed in white pages for 20+ years. Was surprised that it still exists.
So some Muppet has watched the video and called fisheries ? Jesus christ is this what it has come to these days ?
Ik it’s stupid how people do this shit these days
Fair enough. A reasonable outcome for all, I reckon. further collaboration might be a good thing to consider with Fisheries and or a volunteer group to recovery abandoned pots in future! wins all round then. Good Fisheries PR and the right info gets out there from them in a positive way, while producing great content that is very entertaining and beneficial to all of us.
Jokes on the person who dobbed him in.. Im sure Timmy's going to get a lot of views + $$ :)
Exactly mate, this is a good outcome for everyone, the viewer gets educated, Timmy makes some ad revenue, and the snitches get a dose of self righteousness.
Love your work Timmy! Qld fisheries have been decent enough, it's a shame this person or people feel it's their job to do the policing, what do they get out of it!?!?!
Only in Australia you would be dodging snakes at the front door 😂😂
Never a dull day for the turtle 😂
Good on ya Tim for copping it sweet . May a school of a thousand toadies annoy those who complained.
That's brutal lol
What a low dog of an act to dob you in rather than just contact you directly.
Very worrying also that under the new regulations a lot of the laws are “At the officers discretion” if you happen to get a fishery officer on a bad day you could lose your boat for not having a pot marked correctly..
They should never have changed the laws from owners pots to users pots when marking names, this is really making it difficult.
Let’s hope that in future common sense prevails.
Good on you guys for being honest and upfront.
Years ago fishieres where all about educating the public on correct fishing practices and focused a lot on the commercial sector that made a bigger foot print in our sustainable fisheries, fining 2 blokes that promote sustainable fishing,clean waterways and catch and release seems a little harsh a warning would probably have been more than enough and would have refreshed you guys on the rules not like you had 10 undersize females in the boat.
I studied hard and tried for years to get into fisheries, I’m glad I never did got the opportunity because I don’t think handing out fines is the way to educate the public on sustainable fishing.
Just goes to show what type of world we live in filled with Karen's and Gretas. No one is perfect and sometimes we are totally unaware we are doing something wrong. Instead of just dobbin people In to authorities how about sending a message to the bloke giving him some knowledge.
Great video I learnt alot. Cheers
Heya TT , New to ya Vids and enjoy them muchly . Got a story 4 u regarding fisheries cops .
In Cairns n get to set 3 crab pots occasionally . Like ya mate Brett I labled them with name n phone number .
Bout 3 months ago got a call from fisheries who were at my pots telling me the new regulations that you gotta put an address labeled . She was sweet .
When I picked pots up they were newly labeled with my address on them by the cops . Top n bottom . All 3 of them .
Anyway on side note if you travelling on the water wear a life jacket . Drowning ain't fun . Done it once , just got lucky
Australia has a brilliant system when it comes to protecting the waters. I live in Hong Kong and there is literally zero policy on fishing, you can take anything and everything no size or bag limits. They literally rape the seas and rivers out here!! Very sad!!
Jelly dogs gona be jelly
How good is this Timmy and the law turning a grass into such a positive thing .
Meanwhile in OZ. Undersized fish taken every day off local jetties. Yet I’ve never seen these blokes while watching this shit. Good job boys.
Can see it was an obvious honest mistake but I thought the officer was actually quite reasonable. Respect for putting your hand up & copping it.
Reasonable after threatening him with 8 charges if he doesn't comply? Vexatious blackmail is not professional bro.
Know what you’re saying but compared to others I’ve seen I didn’t think he was to bad. In saying that probably different story if not being filmed.
First of all, thanks for coming in. “That’s alright. I was on my way to pick up the crab pots you didn’t get me for”😂😂😂😂
well leason learned mate.. you's done all the right things in the video other then the names on the pots. fuuuk..we'll move on now.cant wait for more videos,your a champ mate..
I'd love to say something about the people that dobed ya in but would get ripped apart 😂
The fact they tried to get him for cooking live cranbs shows how spiteful they are.
Only had one run in with fisheries down here in Vic, and my licence was expired. (thought i'd bought a 3 year, not a 1 year)...... Treated them like normal ppl, owned up to my screw up and bought an online licence as soon as i had reception, so no fine came through. Biggest thing with any interaction with 'authority' (whether you believe in their powers or not) is Don't Be a Dick... Soon as you act like an A***hole, they are going to find any reason to fine you just because of your attitude.
Be polite, own up to your screw ups, and things will go better for you in the long run.
Well that was very very interesting. Some interesting points made there that is fore sure.
Incredible that viewers would dob you guys in for honest mistakes. Just disgraceful. You (and Fisheries) handled it well - the dobbers didn’t at all! Kudos for the honesty and teaching your viewers mate.
The fisheries bloke was very fair and respectful as was timmy.
This is great education
The idea of cleaning up abandoned pots is great
Shame there is too much law around it that does not allow this. Sometimes it comes down to who you know.
Legend timmy 🤙
Well I am sure glad to see Mils didn't get fined...lol. Love the vids and the adventures you post.
grinding money on technicality the usual crown government pirate for you.
Your old video when you cleaned up a bazillion crab pots - haters gunna hate. Wuck fits.
Ha ha you said it!
“Nah don’t skip them, gotta watch the adds”. 😂
I've had a run in before with fisheries got $400 fine and payed it back with centrelink 💰 🤑 💸
So rather than advising you of the new legislation in the comments section as an act of good will, they've gone straight to fisheries and dobbed you in ! Jeez there's some deeply unhappy low life out there. I almost feel sorry for them. p.s. I wish every fisher person in my local area behaved like you do when fishing, you set a great example, enjoy your vids M8. All the very best
People wonder why guys go form mainstream RUclips videos available to everyone to patrons videos the dog don’t want to pay to play! Done well Timmy can’t wait for your up and coming video your a legend cobber 👍🇦🇺🍻 for the dogs who did it 🖕
Your an absolutely legend Timmy
You have the right to know who made the complaint. Talk about knit picking the rules.
Hey Timmy, I thought you may have the buy me a coffee/beer icon up the top...it makes it easy for us to help out every now and then.
timmy hes gonna steal ur idea and start removin pots for cash, actually brilliant
Say what U want
That officer was gracious and well on song
I’d love a section on this channel where Timmy can engage more with guys (officials) like that in explaining the rules..
I’m a Saffa and there’s more rules in SA that you can poke a stick at but nothing gets enforced even if some petty numbass bust your chops..
My plan is to go explore Aus with my family (5 kids and a beautiful missus) for 6 months and engage in some of the crabbing and fishing scene as it is something we as a family all love..
This video was majorly educational for me in understanding the pitfalls if not done correctly..
Timmy,
If you ever read this it will be cool for guys like me if you can engage with that officer on other topics as well
Great thumb nail Timmy CHEERS🍺🍺🍺🍺
How can we help you pay the fines mate? Would love to give yous a hand 🤙
Obviously a set up an the fisheries dude knows it however very educational thank you folks for the information
When cvnts are dobbing you in over a youtube vid, it means youre a celebrity now
Fisheries better have left a like on the video
Nah, to busy being vexatious and blackmailing people if they don't comply. Total corruption of a high level.
The whole system needs to change! If all crabbers could register with the fisheries and each individual receives a registration number and attach it to thier pots the same way. This way your personal information is not floating around the river.. I will pay the fine before I leave my personal details floating around..
Excellent point, and add another amendment, the (one) tag can be underwater because if above its just flag to crims to come and steal
@@easyinshorefishing 100 %.. I'm sick of thieves stealing my crabs and I definitely don't want thieves with my home address while I'm out fishing... simple identification number on your pots. Anyone without the tags should be dealt with ..
What’s happened to this country
Its a nanny state.
This is the thing with Fisheries in all states. The laws are not only stupid, but extremely hard to understand at times.
The only time fisheries ever snag someone doing the wrong thing is when they willingly walk in the front door. I spend a lot of time on the water in NSW and see some wild shit as far as breaches go, report it and nothing happens. Seems to be the same in QLD.
What a bunch of sooks who called you in... cooking the crabs alive deadset. Sounds like some vego sooks with iron deficiency.
when i make my bread i use LIVE yeasts too, when it starts cooking they are screaming so hard it makes the bread all puff up
I knew it was 4 pots per person however I did not know the address and name of each person like 4 each needed to be done per boatload. I thought it was the captains name as the boat operator on behalf of passengers. Good to know.
Absolute Karen’s! Deadset! Hope you make plenty of coin from this video mate! Love ya work.
8:19 Snitches get stitches 💀
Typical Sicilian comment
🤣🤌
do you know what i find funny fisheries get phone calls about illegal crabs being caught almost every weekend by a certain nationality of people and they say they are to busy to do anything about it but if you post on youtube they are all over it maybe the law should be enforce across the board not just minor mistakes made by aussies
Are you talking about Chinese? 😂
Why are races always being brought up.
I can say the same thing and say that some Anglo do the wrong things too and nothing are done about it.
You clowns say that people come here and don't assimilate, yet you'd never accept them as "Aussies" you always identify them as another "nationality".
Ridiculous.
100%
No harm no foul, no fisheries were harmed
Should of said about the crab pot clean up you did 😂
Did you stop watching half way??? Also that pot clean up was illegal and fisheries at the time used discression and didn't charge Timmy after viewers complained
Should have pulled the video down so he had no proof
Someone thinking they're a white knight by dobbing him in probably downloaded the video too.
Great vid, fisheries are just doing their jobs. Hope the dobbers catch nothing but snags!
you need a law and order monologue intro, and the law and order sound effects.
