Thanks Damo! I've screen shotted that guy's car and boat for reference, so sick of theives! No need for it, there's plenty of Cray's out their! Just lazy!! Their lucky they got you, most would have reported them....
Cheers Wazza. Yeah was a good day out. We were watching him pull the pot when we arrived at our GPS mark, but couldn't tell 100% if it was ours, so we followed him in and sure enough..... What's wrong with people 😕
Cheers Mario, I reckon all the commotion would put him off in future with a bit of luck. We've all made mistakes, just this guys were caught on camera 😬
YOU SHOULD STILL REPORT IT 🤷♂️ HES DONE IT ONCE HE WILL DO IT AGAIN 🤦♂️ AND HOWS HE PULLING HIS MATES POT ? DONT THE LICENSE OWNER HAVE TO BE ON THE BOAT 🤔 HES A THIEF
Hi @tritonjackmam5.681, you are probably right, I had quite the chat with him at the time and fisheries research and the ranger were there when I confronted him! Fisheries research couldn't do anything and nor could the ranger believe it or not, but I reckon the bloke would have been puckering! Definitely right about his "mates" pot, still illegal. Cheers mate.
That's crazy! Hopefully the guy realises that you were nice to him and he got real lucky and won't ever do that again. As for the fishing, you gotta stop using the jig with bait and tie on a bottom meat style rig. 3 decent hooks rarely drop a good fish once hooked up. Your mate was using this style rig and did well 👌. I like mackdog tackles and berserker meatheads 🔥
Hi Ryan, agreed about old mate... It's not often that I have this issue with staying connected to fish, but today was a real problem! I do use bottom meat rigs, it was all I used at one stage, just having fun running something different. I've never tried the berserker, might have to grab a couple! Cheers mate 😎👍
My pots got pulled 2x during run this year at Ocean reef, seen a guy on end of Knoll , with binoculars, , was calling mates pulling pots and letting thm know if a boat was coming, its got bad
Who the hell could be bothered with that crap hey! Gotta be pretty desperate and low to do it at all, let alone a coordinated mass pull! Disappointing 😞
That's fucked 😕. I reckon my pots have been pulled heeps in the last few months. Also there's no way your pot and his mates pot would have the same ID numbers
Maaaate what the hell letting them off like that had the same in gero some dog pulling our pots every day got sick of it so let the fisheries know what was going on.next day they set up a sting and got the bastard with my pot onboard towed him in went to court found out he was pulling everyone’s pots lost his boat good riddance bloody lowlifes
You're NOT allowed to pull any pot that's NOT yours... Massive fines... I had a work mate who took his son out fishing, they pulled someone's pot... Just so his son could see it... He nearly lost his 40 K boat because of it... They confiscated his boat... He was devastated, a GODLY man so he should have known better... We prayed and asked for GOD'S mercy in this matter... At the end of it all, 12 months later... He got his boat back and copped a $250 fine and a stern warning NOT to do it again... Needless to say... We seriously thanked GOD for His loving kindness and His mercy 😃
Hi @-Scotty, if he does after being caught on camera and having the ranger and fisheries research watching on, he'd have to be pretty stupid! Cheers mate 👍
Hi Dave, if I intend on returning a fish without any visible barotrauma, I'll always do it without a weight, I reckon gotta be better off avoiding poking another hole in their face if they're able to swim back fine on their own. If they have bad barotrauma, I just keep them, not worth risking it. Not sure how that's on par with stealing another blokes gear though...
@ my comment was mostly taking the piss mate but whether we like new regs or not, the removal of size limits is to prevent people doing exactly that. Even if that dhu swims back down they reckon most of them don’t survive.
Thanks Damo! I've screen shotted that guy's car and boat for reference, so sick of theives! No need for it, there's plenty of Cray's out their! Just lazy!! Their lucky they got you, most would have reported them....
Glad you got your pot back, dunno that i would have let the dogs off that easy 👍
Hahahaaaa I hear ya mate!
Action packed day out Damo! Nice dhuies. Very strange the situation with the pot. Disappointing for sure
Cheers Wazza. Yeah was a good day out. We were watching him pull the pot when we arrived at our GPS mark, but couldn't tell 100% if it was ours, so we followed him in and sure enough.....
What's wrong with people 😕
Hope you got the confrontation with the pot thief on camera. That clip will go viral for sure 😀
Hi @TheParkBadBoy Yeah it would, that's why I didn't show any of it, as much as I'd like to!
@@Damo_Vinci yeah don't want to dox anyone. Good on you for taking the thief on and getting it back.
You showed the pot thief mercy, I respect that.

Agree here. Enough Evidence. You likely got someone else's cray given yo you.

Got my vexed bottom meat stuck half way up a rope the other day. Pulled about 15m of rope into my boat to get the lure back. Is this illegal?
Hi Luke, unfortunately technically yes. 😮💨
I,d pull it anyway. Lures are not cheap and bloody pots are not always easy to see the ropes on.

@@Damo_Vinci yeh did a whole line of pots out on 3 mile
Should’ve posted a pic of his boat and rego so we all know who he is
Hi @kiwideal69, I'd love to but don't know the legalities and don't want my youtube account shut down 😮💨
You should have reported it
That's fucked 😕. I reckon my pots have been pulled heeps in the last few months. Also there's no way your pot and his mates pot would have the same ID numbers
Hi @beergut8915, I reckon it wasn't the first time for mine either. He quoted his "mates" rego to me, it was nothing like mine 🤦♂️
Should name and shame them ! Too much of this goes on out of Mindarie. They will definitely do it again
Hi @hobmister, as much as I'd like to, It's not worth my youtube account getting closed down 🫤
Luckily to get your pot back
Hi @georgepeters3749, I agree! Cheers mate 👍

Yer mate his car and trailer will never be safe at the ramp again will it
Hi Nathan, I'd hope not 😬😬
@Damo_Vinci yer mate I wouldn't mess with people pots up here or they would take a angle grinder to your car
Pl3ase report him. He is totally in the wrong. Especially actually having your pot. Did he also have the floats?
Hi Steve, yeah, pot still had my floats on it.

Hi @Jasonforrestal6050 your mate was lucky there, still, 12 months without the boat is bad enough!
Cheers mate 👍
You should have reported the dog, now he will continue stealing them.
Hi @-Scotty, if he does after being caught on camera and having the ranger and fisheries research watching on, he'd have to be pretty stupid!
Cheers mate 👍
Pot theives… slightly worse than upsizing Dhuies and not even using a release weight.
Hi Dave, if I intend on returning a fish without any visible barotrauma, I'll always do it without a weight, I reckon gotta be better off avoiding poking another hole in their face if they're able to swim back fine on their own.
If they have bad barotrauma, I just keep them, not worth risking it.
Not sure how that's on par with stealing another blokes gear though...
