So they do exist! Been fishing for years and never seen a fisheries officer out in the wild. Need more I reckon.

[@Scoob609]

Saw my first lot on the boat ramp over Christmas.. despite them having an office 1km away I'd never seen them. I also thought they were a myth haha

[@lawrencelittle9499]

First time watching you and really enjoyed the content 👌

[@1upfishing]

Thanks mate. Got plenty of other vids if you're interested

[@RobInglis-tn8gz]

Another great video, keep them coming

[@1upfishing]

Will do!

[@fredflintstone6729]

Those fisheries officers, jeez.. I can put them onto dozens of places that have morons breaking the law every day. Bad policing is almost as useless as no policing.

[@1upfishing]

Yeah, there are definitely some more problem areas they could be patrolling

[@fredflintstone6729]

@Buddy89538 i lived at the entrance and watched the local fisheries officers walk past blatant criminals to hit me up for my licence.. I don't need to reassess my opinion on them 👍

[@fredflintstone6729]

@Buddy89538 my issue is and always has been their selective policing.

[@fredflintstone6729]

@Buddy89538 one and only experience? If you think it's fine for a government agency to walk past 15 women in hijabs with piles of undersized tailor and bream and come directly to someone they know has a license, you are absolutely part of the problem too.. Never did I say it was a one off. But like you said pal, they targeted. Now boot off 👍

[@fredflintstone6729]

@@Buddy89538 My ancestors have been fishing the waters of this country for over 4000 years, family have told me about how my Biripi people used the rivers and estuaries for generations. The number of assumptions and guesswork in all of your comments is astounding buddy. Don't even get me started on the fallacies, like "no size limit on tailor" and the instant reference to being "bogan" ? You mate, are a complete fool who is attempting to be virtuous on land that your forefathers probably stole from mine. Now toddle off and bother someone who's mob hasn't fished this land for millennia ✌

@5:52 I noticed the bottom 2 guides not aligned... that would drive me nuts

[@1upfishing]

Haha 😄 I'm gonna check all the time now

[@fishmut]

I actually like seeing the fisheries people go around , and I have no problem with checking my gear or licence etc , , I find around the marina warves etc and really anywhere there are always people trying to get away with undersize fish like the asians I see it all the time and people getting there bag limits take them home then come back and do it again and again especially at Nelson bay Marina when the black fish (ludric) are on , makes me sick these people, I also seen a boat come in at night no lights at all cray pots and crab pots no rego on the boat no lights looks very sketchy and it all happens around marinas you be surprised , I hope they get caught and have the book thrown at them, you guys where cool , all above board .👍

[@mrmaples3459]

1000% agree, so important to protect the fish stocks before certain people ruin it for everyone

[@joepearce3033]

There's a lot more to it than what you know. For a start they have no authority. They are fake legalise global parasitic puppets. An unlawful corporation run by the UN.

Met this ranger at Clovelly 4 days ago, he's actually a good guy and gave me plenty of his time talking and listening. 🤙🍻🍻👌👌🤙

[@justincarter1950]

Have you used a Rio prawn? Best big flathead lure ever. The large red one is my favourite

[@1upfishing]

@justincarter1950 I haven't. But with such a rave review, I'll def check it out. Cheers

[@iandickinson342]

So glad the rangers are there. The amount of illegal fishing and under size fish being kept (especially by the Asian community) is unreal.

[@habitangleft]

Interesting. I don't fish, I just enjoy watching fishing videos. I'm curious, is this all asian fishermen or is it just some regulars? And why do you think they do that if its illegal and they'll get a fine if they get caught?

[@Scoob609]

​@habitangleft there is a real lack of care for environment from developing countries that is almost entirely due to ignoranc. A lack of education and generational disregard. Given time and exposure to education they'll get better but for now they're assholes.

[@sumfesh8574]

@@habitangleft Not all. Could be cultural, lack of education or language barrier. There's probably a small minority who just don't respect the law and play dumb if/when fined but this demographic is not confined to any one ethnic group

They seemed to be checking that the equipment and gear are all legal methods, and the correct number of them etc

I like the idea of Fisheries but the people that work that job are the worst I can't stand them. nothing like hiding in the bushes perving on people fishing.

[@dennisthompson7857]

So you need a license to fish now ? seriously. So license to catch the fish, license from some one saying you can cook the fish correctly and soon coming to a world near you a license to eat it the correct way .

Fisheries offcers are failed or rejected police. In my fifty years of fishing ive only come across one who was half decent. The rest are childish bullies who haven't grown up.

[@Wobbz9413]

Ive never met a bad fisheries officer in 50 years of fishing, but meet a lot of clowns who call themselves fishermen and cry about fisheries. I just assume they have plenty to hide. The officers are just doing their job.

[@Fire4FX]

SA Fisheries are all about revenue raising. I got done before for using a crab measure but during my long outting, I miss measure using the wrong side. They could have let me off with a warning but no... didn't harrass my Australian cousins BF as he had no ID. So I said, f-it I'll take responsibility for the lot. Grubs! I came back the following weekend with even more people this time & we definately measured & caught our catch again without an issue. My first time as well, I made an honest mistake but they don't see that - they'll just throw a fine at you whether you can pay or not.

[@robertjan6886]

What part of the interaction between the officers and fishos was bad policing. They made sure that two fishos were legally fishing, and hopefully their interaction garnered two extra pairs of eyes to make life hard for those morons you see. Do you report illegal fishing???….

[@1upfishing]

Who said it was bad policing? Yeah I cut out a lot of the conversation as it was us reporting to them some issues we see at that spot
