gtra5750 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Was planning on a fishing/camping trip to Myall lakes but came across this DPI alert. Recreational fishing closures I was honestly surprised by the amount of waterways closed to recreational fishing All closures Can anyone provide any further information about the duration/motivation for the closure? Given the amount of red-spot in recent years it is hardly surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tan the fisherman Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) They dont provide dates of closure so its hard to understand what is closed and when Edited July 27, 2009 by tan the fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumra Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Looking at the closures, you are not even allowed to use a landing net.... i can appreciate why they dont want you to use prawn nets, but what is the benefit of not allowing landing nets?

gtra5750 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I read that Sth Coast estuaries banned nets to stop the transfer on noxious aquatic plants (????). I assume C&R is also banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaune Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but the way I read that you are allowed to fish and prawn, just not with a net other than a hand net. "Methods of fishing prohibited: Any method involving the use of a net, other than the following: a dip or scoop net (prawns), a hand-hauled prawn net, a push or scissors net (prawns), a landing net, " You might have to read it about three times like i did.

Moro Mou Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I agree with Shaune - i don't think recreational fishing (line fishing) is banned. If in doubt be worth a call to fisheries to clarify. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalmainBob Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The only fishing that is banned is the fishing done with at net, ie: trolling one behind your boat All other types of fishing are allowed Just read what the notice says, it is very clear on what type of fishing is banned.
