Daid Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I hope you guys know there is a fishing closure of the cooks river http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/info/c...dcr5/botany-bay The whole of the waters of the Cooks River, its creeks and tributaries, upwards to its source from its junction with Botany Bay. Any species of fish. Methods of fishing prohibited Any method, other than the following: * a hand held line, * a landing net. All year. Agree with stoney, Oatley would be good.

Shame as it can be great catch & release fishery. I wonder if a single rod constitutes a hand held line? Most of us carry a landing net. Cheers, Grant.

1975 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 that document looks like its dated 2002, and i know its still being fished all the time and its not excluded in any of the tournaments. also rod and reel is hand held line, isn't it? And Stewy would be in a lot of trouble cause thats one of his favourites haunts Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snag Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 This has already been up before has nothing to do with lure fishing, and you can go up and fish the cooks, spoken to council and the wording was the issue at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daid Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sorry about the noise guys, Hand Held Lines = Holding onto a rod/reel with a line. So you can fish there. No pots/nets other methods. The document is referencing the legislation, Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2002 (NSW) Schedule 2. http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/fragview....2+0+N?tocnav=y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
