Illegal fishing ‘a quarantine threat’ (ABC News via Yahoo! Australia & NZ News)
A Western Australian Liberal Senator has called for helicopter and boat patrols along Australia’s coastline to help combat illegal fishing.

While this doesn’t matter much to hobby fisherman, it’s fishing news non-the-less.

Two Indonesian boats were confiscated in Australia for potential illegal fishing after local fisherman tipped off the authorities. If it’s determined what they were doing was illegal, their boats will be destroyed and the crew could face fines & penalities.

They didn’t want all of their fish taken. They’re just jealous!

How’s this for justice: a company was just fined a ton of money and it’s director sentenced to 5 years in jail for illegal fishing.

It’s nice to see justice being served for people taking advantage of our environment unjustly.

Hopefully this will be the standard to come!

Apparently a “multi-millionaire” (as he brags) was not able to take his boy fishing because it was required to provide a SSN to purchase a fishing license, where many states allow drivers license numbers to be taken.

There’s no real moral to this story, I just thought it was worth sharing with everyone.

What’s the world coming to when you can’t go fishing without fearing your identity being stolen!

Perhaps this trend will continue, but hopefully not. Hunting waterfowl is being banned outside of the USA in some locations on concerns of spreading the bird flu.

While the USA has largely been uneffected by this epidemic, it certainly is not immune to these issues.

Keep your eyes peeled for future updates on this topic.

Iowa is the latest state to allow higher powered rifles, even assault rifles, to hunt deer in the southern part of the state where human population is decreasing, but deer numbers are blossoming.

Meanwhile, other states have been extending their deer gun season to compensate for rises in deer population.

Just watch out for that guy blazing up the woods with an AK-47…
