THE HOME OF VICTORIAN SALTWATER FISHING 
Welcome to victoriansaltwaterfishing.com
UPDATE 15th JULY 2010
Victorian Recreational fishers under threat from more lock out marine parks
THE Victorian National Parks Association have released a 300 page document called
Nature Conservation Review: Marine and Coastal Issues Paper demanding 20 new marine parks all along the coastline
"Frankly, it's an act of betrayal that the VNPA can be working with the recreational fishing community, through a fisheries co-management framework on one hand while secretly compiling this study, and not consulting with us on this issue." Stated MR Geoff Cramer Chairman of VR Fish
"The VNPA's 'sales brochure' clearly acknowledges multiple state government departments and individuals as having direct input into the formulation of this document" Geoff Cramer concluded.

Congrats to member pollywaffle on his tstate record tuna on 4kg line
RECREATIONAL ANGLERS UNITE AND LAUNCH THE
"WE FISH" CAMPAIGN
Tired of not being heard and not being consulted Recreational fishermen Australia wide are uniting and getting behind a simple campaign to let all political parties know enough is enough
The aim is to raise 10,000 signatures or more on a single document distributed on websites, at tackle stores and through fishing clubs that will be presented to all political parties "EN MASSE" to show we fishermen are united and strong in number
