Fishing and Crabbing Hervey Bay

and set pots in water as required by the regulations

[@saltysouladventures]

What rules am I breaking? I'm not aware of any that say what I'm doing is wrong

[@billmarsh7104]

@@saltysouladventures pots aren't supposed to completely dry at any stage of the tide

[@saltysouladventures]

@@billmarsh7104 ok cheers mate do you know where I can find that in writing?

[@billmarsh7104]

and it keeps the native rats, birds etc out, I have seen drowned rats, coots, crows, and and a hawk, that got into a pot that was dry at low tide

[@BigBenno26]

Yep it’s definitely the rule, can’t be out of the water at any time. Other than that, great vid 👍

[@vicky-annblanch7575]

Great video guys, was a bit worried about that jewy surviving as it was sure bleeding a lot from the gills

[@saltysouladventures]

Yeah he was bleeding a bit but he swam off strong so hopefully he survived

Repping in the Bay mate good work few good spots around.

[@saltysouladventures]

Yeah mate plenty of fish out there if you put the time in to find them

[@markedward5941]

wow there is a reason its illegal to allow a crab pot to be exposed at low water . Not to mention the aount of dead goanna's and other Aussie wildlife I have seen in pots along the river I live on which is just across the bay fro where this video was taken. Not good fella's , not good at all

[@saltysouladventures]

I understand the reason for the law mate but if I had dead animals and fish in my pots do you think I'd keep crabbing the same way? And the fisheries/water police obviously don't enforce the rule much because if you were a local you would know very well how many pro pots there are in locations that dry at low tide every day of the season

[@markedward5941]

@@saltysouladventures 'if I was a local' .My family have been here since 1920 and i have been here all my life . And I never suggested that you'd keep crabbing after finding dead animals in your pots. And yes , I see a lot of dry pots in the area , I just haven't seen anyone break this law on youtube before . You can choose to learn from your mistake like we all often have to in life , or not .

[@saltysouladventures]

@@markedward5941 I believe that your a local mate, there's not much incentive to lie about that, I was simply stating that if you lived in the area you would be aware of the number of illegally placed pro pots that are around

[@markedward5941]

@@saltysouladventures all good , the ''if'' part did make me defensive but I'm all better now mate . It's the first time I have pointed out a flaw in a KZbin vid but as a widlife carer who lives inside the boundary of a national park (private property has been surrounded by the park over the decades) I see exposed pots killing a lot of birds and goanna's etc so i responded thats all . Have a nice day and the rest of the vid I liked , as with the other couple I watched when a local mate put me into you blokes

[@saltysouladventures]

@@markedward5941 no worries mate I completely understand where your coming from and I see the same thing with pro pots that are left unchecked for weeks on end with floating fish in them, cheers mate glad you liked them
