Team,
yet another time we need to get off our bums to read about proposed changes to the commercial and recreational fishing in QLD.
Sorry if this has already been posted.
I STRONGLY recommend that everyone reads the proposed changes on the DPI&F website.
http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb/18767.html#three
The main things that raise red flags for me are:
- Combined limit of all Mackerel species of 10
- Close Eurimbula Ck near Agnes Waters to all fishing activities. This waterway is already a crab sanctuary and commercial net fishing is banned. Why close it down for recreational anglers????? This place has the best laid out national park camping sites in the area, with a great safe swimming place for kids. Locking out recreational fishing from this creek will mean a drastic reduction to campers (away from school holidays and long weekends the place is deserted anyway). Rediculous.>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
There are a lot of propsed changes that do make sense, but some are not quite right. :-/
There is information on the website about how to let the DPI&F know your concerns.
Cheers.
Ed.
