Blackfish Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Certainly a start, but I wonder if the commercial fishers have their catch reduced to 40% of their original quota like the rec fishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Excellent news. There's a few other fish I can think of that need to be reviewed as well IMO and I hope they reconsider their size/catch limits in the future. Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Great news on the bigger size - 45cm was always ridiculous ........ my biggest bream is that size - I cannot imagine anyone even wanting to keep a jewie of that size. Yet just last year, the hauling Pros from up here wanted the size REDUCED for them, as they were catching so many juveniles!! Rape & Pillage, I call it! Yet with the same stroke of the pen that increased the size and reduced the bag limit for rec fishos - they have now allowed a daily 'waste minimization' for Estuary Haulage Pros of 10 fish a day between 45cm & 70cm! I bet they all 'accidentally' manage to catch 10 'wastage' fish a day as well as the correct size! Good to see the haulage rates reduced to 500kg too - instead of the tonnes that they have been known to take!! However - a lot of fish are damaged/killed in the hauling nets ........ I hope enough survive to be put back! cheers Roberta Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Most of the jewies I catch in Port Hacking are under the 70cm mark, and a few swallow the hooks. Can cut off the hooks, but some may not survive. 60cm and bag limit of 2 would have been better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Another rule which will be ignored by a major group of sydney anglers and make us more frustrated. Its hard enough telling people small fish are too small to even get a fish finger off, now to try and convinse people to put 65 cm Jews back... thats going to be a hard task! Its sad to see... good on the authorities for trying to protect the species but in all honesty... how many people who fish around sydney in particular will take any notice? Its really frustrating to see people not playing by the rules... just wish the guys in charge started clamping down on the rock and beach fishers. Ive been out 50+ times in Sydney and not been seen anyone around checking - not even had anyone ask to see a license! In my opinion there is no point in issuing these rules unless they are going to actively ensure they are being followed. I've seen far too many undersized fish being taken and no matter how much i complain at the people doing it, they always say they dont speak ingrish or claim complete ignorance. Sad times!!!

Scratchie Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This is great news! Love catching the bigs girls and with this new rule there will be a lot more of them! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMn Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's awesome they have made this change, hopefully there will be plenty of jewie posts in the years to come. Fingers crossed it'll be me posting a few hahaha!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Good for the species, but as previously mentioned, for it to count it needs to be enforced. They'll need to patrol around bridges and beaches. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
