So long and thanks for all the fish - a crisis for recreational fishers
Monday, April 27 @ 20:52:24 EST by mrfisho (201 reads)
General Fishing NewsAustralia is in crisis with bushfires, floods, cyclones, oil spills and stock market crashes.

These have affected everyone and cost billions of dollars. Amidst all this chaos, recreational fishing is the most recent casualty due to a lack of support by the Australian Government. It may seem a small crisis but recreational fishing representation at a national level is almost gone thanks to lack of government funding.

The peak national body, Recfish Australia has been told that the government will not provide any funding in 2008/9. Formed in 1983, this peak body has existed on a government grant of $100,000 per year to represent a $2 billion plus industry with diverse interests and major challenges. This is the same federal government that has just handed out billions of dollars to jump start the economy and spent over $100 million on elite sport. This begs the question of why several hundred elite sports people are supported by the government but over 3.5 million recreational fishers have no national support or national voice.

Recfish Australia has a proud 25 year history and many achievements. It continues to represent Australia's 3.5 million recreational fishers at a national level on issues as diverse as loss of access;

shark recovery plans; management of Commonwealth fisheries and the development of best practice guidelines for recreational fishing. Recfish Australia has also been at the forefront in battles over Marine Parks, protected and threatened species and sustainable management of fisheries resources and many more issues that impact on the future of recreational fishers.

One of the major national issues is climate change and its impacts on recreational fishers. The lack of funding means that recreational fishers will have no coordinated body to represent them and no peak body to meet with government on climate change implications and the impacts arising from natural

Marine industries applaud expert review of marine parks
Monday, April 27 @ 20:27:23 EST by mrfisho (52 reads)
General Fishing NewsPeak bodies representing recreational fishing, the boating industry and the fishing trade industry today voiced their strong support for a report recently published by environmental expert, Prof Robert Kearney.

The report, commissioned and paid for by the New South Wales Recreational Fishing Trust Fund reviewed “The Torn Blue Fringe” published by the National Parks Association (a NSW conservation organisation) which calls for more marine parks in New South Wales and greater restrictions on recreational fishing.

It seems that Australian fishing families are the soft target and governments are reluctant to tackle the real environmental threats of pollution, habitat destruction and unconstrained urban growth. Len Olyott, CEO of Recfish Australia, a qualified fisheries scientist, believes that the public is being duped into believing the spin about marine parks and sanctuary zones. “The Torn Blue Fringe tells the public that New South Wales fisheries are badly managed and unsustainable. This is simply not true, Australia’s fisheries are some of the most conservatively managed in the world and continue to be sustainable.

The truth is that we have 65 million hectares already in marine protected areas, how much more do we really need?” The NPA issued a statement prior to the release of Prof Kearney’s review which called into question his credentials as an objective reviewer. Despite claims that their report has been peer reviewed; there are no independent review documents on their website.

The NPA have also accused fishing representative groups of “scare-mongering” and distorting the facts. While there is no denying the fact that recreational fishing is still allowed in marine parks, up to 30 % of these areas are generally closed to recreational fishing. To date, limited monitoring of existing marine parks in Australia has not been able to prove the effectiveness of sanctuary zones in increasing biodiversity conservation. With between 40 and 50% of boat owners purchasing a boat to go fishing, there are grave concerns that further closures will see a downturn in boat sales. “In these tough times, people need the freedom to get away and go fishing.

If people stop buying boats, it’s not just the boating industry that suffers;” said Roy Privett, General Manager of the Boating Industry Association of New South Wales. His concerns are echoed by Australian Fishing Trade Association (AFTA) Executive Officer, Doug Joyner who had this to say, “The recreational fishing industry generates millions of dollars and provides thousands of jobs. If fishing becomes too hard, people simply stop going and many of the smaller operations will shut up shop. No government can afford this senseless loss of jobs.”

According to Prof Kearney, the review fails to identify the specific threats posed by recreational fishing and does not address real impacts such as pollution and introduced species; “Pollution is clearly a great threat and its impacts are obvious and, apparently, getting worse. It will not be addressed by more fishing closures masqueraded as marine protected areas.”

Recreational fishers are not opposed to conservation measures but want to see the scientific evidence that recreational fishing is the biggest threat to conservation and that sanctuary zones that only exclude fishers are the answer.

Catalina is now even bigger!
Monday, April 27 @ 17:41:12 EST by mrfisho (61 reads)
General Fishing NewsJigging for deepwater fish demands strong tackle and the latest incarnation from the leaders in jigging technology, Daiwa, introduce the Catalina spinning reel.

The Catalina is built from the ground up to handle the strong braided lines that are commonly used for jigging. The Super metal main frame eliminates body flex and supports the world famous Digigear drive system which is the heart of this unbelievably strong reel. The perfectly meshed Digigear drive system provides up to 15% more cranking power than any other reel on the market.

Catalina 6500


Designed to be virtually failsafe the Catalina doesn’t include two very common features that exist in nearly all other reels, a bail trip mechanism and two way antireverse.

These two mechanisms are the first to break down under extreme fishing conditions. Instead Daiwa employs a dual full time infinite anti reverse system and a manual bail trip that prevents the handle and bail from turning when open or during a cast. Thus making a virtually fail safe reel suitable for long fishing trips.

The Daiwa Catalina is the perfect reel for heavy duty saltwater applications whether it be jigging offshore on the deepwater reefs or casting for popper crunching pelagics.

2008 Saltwater Stella Wins AFTA Best Reel
Monday, April 27 @ 17:35:20 EST by mrfisho (62 reads)
General Fishing NewsNew for 2009, the Stella Saltwater range has been awarded ICAST and AFTA's best saltwater reel category. The culmination of years of research and Shimano’s latest in advanced reel technology - the Stella Saltwater (SW) series raises and once again sets the benchmark for quality in the high end spinning reel market.

Built tough to serve over 20kg of drag, you need the performance and build quality of the Stella for your best fighting chance when casting big poppers to reef edges for huge Giant Trevally or jigging for monster Dogtooth Tuna in the Coral Sea.

Shimano Stella


Shimano engineers managed to masterfully maintain the trademark operational smoothness of the range yet still achieve a significant increase in gear durability. This enhancement was to be called Paladin – featuring a cold-forged main gear and low wear-rate stainless steel pinion. Even more impressive is the fact that each model has received a decrease in overall weight which equals greater and more comfortable fishability.

Another essential component of the Stella SW is the Propulsion Line Management system, putting an end to virtually all line twist and wind knot issues – Propulsion Spool Lip with exclusive anti-scratch coating, ultra tough SR One-Piece Bail system, SR Arm Cam, redesigned Bail Trip and Power Roller IV with over-flange for the ultimate in line protection.

SW Concept provides a water resistant body and hyper disk drag (twin disk on 18000 & 20000), Assist Stopper (except 5000) and light-weight ergonomic handle. All models feature an even tougher re-enforced bail and rotor, stopperless design, Fluidrive II, Dyna-Balance and aluminium frame, rotor and sideplate.
