Why do we need to drive the bass back to the edge and beyond? And I mean all of us, not just the managers:
  • Are you killing more bass for the table than you really need? Guilty.
  • Are you using J-hooks with bait? Guilty.
  • Are you needlessly damaging bass with trebles when a siwash would do? Guilty.
  • Are you hammering away on your 48th schoolie of the tide, just trying to get 50 so you can impress your friends? Guilty.
  • Do you have that 40# bass by the lip and losing the battle of your sense of stewardship to your ego by bringing it to the tackle shop for a pic'/internet posting? Guilty.
Are you sitting on your ass reading this instead of getting involved the public hearings, writing letters or affiliating yourself with a fisheries conservation group?

Guilty.
