damos Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey all, Quick question for you. I've recently discovered the wonderful world of using live poddies for bait. First I was catching them with a bait rig, then on the weekend I built a bait trap from a coke bottle. Both worked but I was wondering if you're allowed to scoop them up with a net or is that not allowed? Cheers, Damian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damos Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone have an idea? I thought this would be well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 DPI netting rules and regs can be found : Here It only mentions 'incidental captures' of fish in prawn nets and crab pots. As far as I know, cast/drag nets are illegal. Phone DPI mate and they will give you the right advice Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew399 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) cast and drag nets are illegal in nsw, however i am pretty sure that it is NOT illegal to net them in a landing net, it would be much more tricky but if there are swarms of them around you might get lucky, iv seen it done on yakkas...

damos Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Cheers, Thats what I was after. I knew using cast nets weren't allowed, was just wondering about using a scoop or landing net. Edited January 21, 2009 by damos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
