joshGTV Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Does anyone know for certain if fishing is classed as exercise for the current lockdown, as it was last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried finding out but can't find the answer. One would assume so, but heard on the news the other people have been asked pack up and go home. Not sure whether or not not they were locals or where they were from. Gladys did say the restrictions were the same as we had in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one Council, no point ringing them they don't enforce Health orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The advice is if you live in there you can leave home for food shopping , work - if you can’t work from home or it is an essential service and exercise other than that stay home. If you live outside the area stay out unless it is for work and that work is essential services . I also have heard of people being told to leave and for your own safety it is not worth the risk - i have also been wanting to go for a fish at Narrabeen beach but not while this is still happening! If you are desperate for fish i would look at other beaches for a fish like the eastern suburbs , down in the shire or even the central coast .

blaxland Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Most of the information is obsolete as I understand it the Northern beaches has areas where 14 day Iso is compulsory and the rest can not leave the area. It is different to the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombora Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 If you live on the northern beaches local govt area you can fish northern beaches locations - same rules as march lock down. but have to keep social disancing so a crowded wharf not smart. beach fishing all good. fishing is classified as exercise.
