Rebel Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Frank, The DPI are running a campaign at the moment. No breakaway floats, polystyreneor foam or balloons. The DPI are saying this causes Marine litter. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Ahh-here we go-whilst i kind of agree with the idea that using balloons is a bad idea-frankly -as usual fishos are being targetted because we are an easy shot for the loonie greens-i have been 10 miles out to sea on New Years day and seen THOUSANDS of balloons, not to mention all the other days when ive seen shiny helium balloons from weddings,birthdays etc etc-miles out to sea-how often do a see a fishing related balloon-very occasionally-usual response from Govt-lets make another unenforcable regulation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Thanks guys. I haven't exactly kept in touch with the regulations of fishing in NSW. Was talking with an old fishing mate and planning our next trip out when I mentioned getting some new balloons and he said we were not allowed to use them these days. I tried to look it up on google but couldn't find a decisive answer . Just talking about going out to the jibbon bomby and drifting a floating bait over the bommie like we used to do back then.
