My name is Bill Marchment and I’m 70 years old, retired and my main recreation is fishing. You can imagine my alarm and disgust at the proposed new Marine Park that includes Lake Cathie. I’m further dismayed that such a small minority in the Government can have such a huge impact on the majority of the population.
I hear that the fish population is in dire straits. Wrong, rubbish and completely off the mark! I challenge anyone to fish with me for a reasonable length of time and I will prove that there are plenty of fish in the ocean and estuaries.
Do you have any idea what devastating impact you will have on all recreational fishermen? There are hundreds of thousands of us who are worried and distressed at the Marine Park proposal. Come down to Lake Cathie and see the hundreds of families fishing on any given weekend. Who could be so mean spirited to take that away?
