    Default Bloody crab pots...

    I was tusseling with a Trev and looked up and found this poor fella tied to the bank

    Apparently found himself in a tangled mess with someones crab pots someone tied to a bridge. Such a shame

    Ah I always leave out vitals. I was talking to the guy who lives next to the bridge and he said he tied him up to the side after he saw it and called sea patrol.

    Was the dolphin just dead...?

    And the guy then tied it up while waiting for the sea patrol..??

    I gotta say..crabs pots really urk me and people can throw them anywhere they like.
    Should be reduced to two pots per person I reckon.

    Its actually a little whale, The picture makes it hard to see. I thought it was a dolphin but I realised it was a baby whale once I got up close to it. He said he pulled it out of the crab pot rope and tied him/her up whilst waiting for sea patrol.

    Thats insane. Its a stupid area to put crab pots in anyway, whoevers pot it was should be banned from the water. On the plus side its amazing to see what moves up the river.

    I agree, its such a waste of a beautiful animal but in all fairness the chances of getting a whale caught up in a crab pot rope is pretty slim and probable the last thing ol mate would have been thinking about when he dropped the pot.
    May the fish be with you!!!

    Yeah that is true, Just makes you wonder what actually sneaks into a river system unnoticed and returns to the ocean unharmed.
