Greetings guys - this one i am curious about - i was at
stockton beach yesterday and i happen to see something i though was actually very interesting
I seen 2 4x4's( with tinnies on trailers) trolling up and down
the beach with about 3 other 4x4's in tow - they find a spot - they launch 1 boat and a guy throws a very long net out of the boat just outside the breakers ( the other end is back at
the beach - the net looked to be about 100 meters long the boat returns to
the beach where one of the 4x4's hook the other end of the net to the 4x4 and start to tow the net in a little then about 6 people then jump into the
water and start to bring both ends of the net in ( including some kids ) which we then seen hundreds of fish jumping within the area of the net
They pulled this of with a precision you would see of the army - and they certainly got themselves a very large haul of fish - although i didn't see them throwing any of the smaller ones back( if there were any) They clearly have done this before - so my question is this covered in the scope of your average guys fishing license or would this be classed as professional fishing as it looks like they do this on a daily basis
It looks like a great idea with with a better reward than sitting on
the beach with a rod for 5 hours to catch 3 fish :)
your comments ?
