Good video Kevin. How long was the Charter?

[@KevinBelcher]

Thanks Don
The charter on this occasion, was 6 hours plus which was enough time to get well out and catch some deep water species then try for some blue cod on the return journey, then pick up some cray pots near the coast.

the only reason cray stoks are bad, is the commercial fishers, keep taking them, year round... recs dont do that...commercials take take take. clean out an area then move on...with out commercials, the cray numbers would rebound to massive levels...

Sorry mate. But the rec guys that go out everyday and catch 6 crays are doing just as much damage . Question, what are these guys doing with those crays. The Rod Father charters will slowly fish out spots. I have seen them on the same mark over and over again. 5-6 guys at a time , do the math. To be fair humans don't give a fuck about any thing especially our fish stocks.

Recreational fishermen do same damage, blaming others is a foul excuse of managing your own flaws.
