My horse Dhuie

My horse Dhuie

 Caught this horse in the sound. Nearly broke me 20lb outfit clean off lucky the net was on board to haul him in ;) one little kiss and a quick "see ya in 20 years" and he was back in his hole.

The lack of these size fish is a major factor in the limits set www.fish.wa.gov.au/Documents/research_reports/frr210.pdf (ie 2C - Knowledge Gaps).

i disagree with this

 

The number of shu's being caught in the range of 20-40cm is amazing. these fish would have to be 1-3 years old i believe.

And am i the only one noticing these fish seem to come up in much better condition than what i remember a few years ago? I very rarely use a release weight on small dhu's, they swim off perfectly.

 

Whats the ban been in place for now 3 years?
