    Silvo,

    You are the man!!

    I've been chasing your autograph all day :biggrin2: . Was totally exhausted and mentally drained after yesterday's demoralising effort, yet found it impossible to sleep after your inspirational midnight phone call. I've never heard anyone so excited :1yikes: . Should've jumped in the car and come down to the game club for a celebratory drink with you.

    A huge congrats to you and the Tanoa team on an unforgettable fish :thumbup::thumbup::yahoo:

    Regards

    Great fish.

    Back in my jewfishing days i once caught a 136cm Jewfish that went only 21kg. People back at the ramp called it for 30kg plus.

    Caught a 139cm fish that went 23kg. These fish were weighed on certified scales.

    My brother caught a 155cm fish that went 28kg. Don't always believe in charts as they are often flattering, especially for mulloway.

    Cheers

    Fishing ban lifted near South West Rocks

    Posted April 29, 2011 08:49:00

    Recreational fishing closures near South West Rocks east of Kempsey have been lifted.

    The State government says it is delivering on a pre-election promise to revoke fishing bans at Fish Rock and Green Island.

    Both sites have been identified as important habitat for the critically endangered Grey Nurse Shark

    Primary Industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson says there will now be three months of new public consultations on the issue, from next month.

    "As we said before the election we want to make sure that the community's got a proper chance to be consulted before any final decision is actually made.

    "I've also asked for a scientific review of the effectiveness of management arrangements in meeting domestic and international commitment to the conservation of marine biodiversity.

    "Just making sure that the conservation needs of the Grey Nurse Shark are met well into the future," the minister said.

    Ms Hodgkinson says fishing and diving is vitally important to the South West Rocks economy, so the consulation will also take that into consideration.

    "The outcome of the community consultation that is about to commence early next month.

    "It and the scientific review together will both be used to guide the development of new management arrangement for Fish Rock and Green Island.

    "It is important that the Grey Nurse Shark is protected but equally it's extremely important to make sure that we get it right for the local community,"she said.
