Big Fish..........I recieved a phone call from my 12 yo yesterday when she arrived home from school...�Daddy, there is a huge fish on the beach�....So I tell her to take a photo and email it to me.... 10 minutes later she rings back and tells me that she has 2 photos...I proceed to instruct her on the art of downloading from my camera to the computer and how to email it to me...after a couple of minutes of trying to tell her calmly, I give up and say that I will see it when I get home and hang up.....5 minutes later an email arrives with the photos attached....Dont know how she worked it out but then again she is a Taurus like her dad..... Anyhow, the so called "pro fishermen" have been netting the waters out the front of home for a couple of weeks and we have had a lot of fish kill....So I proceed to ring up fisheries...Not their department...so I ring the Department of primary industries...not their problem...they tell me to ring Enviromental protection agency....who put me thru to someone else where I finally make my �recorded report�. My beef is that they are always trying to get people to advise them if you see any fish kill but nobody wants to know about it�.. When I arrived home, there were 2 trawlers trawling and 3 netters netting right out the front of the beach....so we all know how this five foot Cod with net marks all over it happened to arrive on the beach...Yes, I have sent it into the local paper annomously...but that is another story...as last time I used "my name"...I copped a lot of abuse from certain �professional� people because the media went with the story for a whole week and my phone rang hot all day. Posted by Picasa
