blaxland Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The season is october to jan so should be good to go just check local rules for traps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwa Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks blaxland I know the basic rules re gear and sanctuary zones but a bit unclear on territory limits. I.e was told can’t use traps above the bridges and can’t use dilly’s in coal an candle but internet searches no help confirming or otherwise. Appreciate any help cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Look at the Fisheries website, don't rely on google or internet experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookwa Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks sea sponge. Just looked at that link and now confused. Is a witches hat classed as a net? I.e prohibited all nets other than a landing net? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwa Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Looking at those rules I’m glad I don’t live in brisbane waters. Can’t do much in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth giving the local fisheries a call to clarify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
