25.01.2022 There are some pretty damn big fish in the sea...

22.01.2022 Good news for the fish and wildlife Pollution of Brisbane Water - some pleasing action! For some time Cori Hopper of South Kincumber has been reporting to var...ious bodies on pollution episodes in Brisbane Water. Cori has also shared photos with us on three occasions in the past few months, DPA has then shared these with our State Members office., and written emails following a DPA meeting where he explained his lengthy campaign. As a (former?) representative on a Council Advisory Committee for Brisbane Water and Avoca Lagoon I raised this issue, and was advised it was a matter for the EPA. Now the good news - finally! DPA has received this good news from the NSW State Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch’s office, following our calls and emails: The EPA has continued to investigate water management of the Hymix concrete batching plant at Kincumber, including last week following heavy rain. The EPA has issued Hymix with a prevention notice which requires Hymix to: Cease the discharge of water from stormwater or wastewater infrastructure at premises; Provide details to the EPA outlining how the discharge will be ceased; and Engage a qualified professional to prepare a comprehensive Water Management Report for the premises and report on areas for improvement. We are continuing to investigate possible breaches observed during our most recent inspection, and will consider whether further regulatory action is appropriate as that investigation progresses. Thanks to Adam Crouch and his team for the follow up. This is good news for fishermen and women and our fish, sea birds and small mammals.

22.01.2022 Pete's family has told me all members are welcome to attend, it would be a welcome tribute if everyone was to dress in the club polo shirt.

18.01.2022 I’ve been a bit slack getting a Facebook post up lately so tonight I’m bombarding you with a mega post. Well done to all of our fishing over the last few weeks. We are flat out but loving it and loving creating some memories for you all. See you all next time

11.01.2022 Crazy Kingie Growth Rate! Many keen kingie fishos might be surprised at just how old (or young!) their catches could be. Samples donated to the Research Angler... Program (RAP) have shown the age of a just legal fish (65cm) can range from one to four years. This is because growth rates are variable; however, most fish sampled grow relatively quickly and reach 65cm between the ages of two and three years old. But some fish can grow very big very fast! Keen RAP participant Kurt recently donated the frame from his 130cm kingfish. The trophy-sized fish was estimated to be five years old (shown on the attached graph). This fish is the fastest-growing five-year-old kingie we have had donated to the program and shows that in optimal conditions kingies can indeed grow at a very fast rate. Results such as this show how donating frames from your kingie catches to the RAP can give us important information to help manage these great sportfish. Kurt also scored himself one of our monthly prizes of a $50 gift voucher at our drop-off location at Ritchie's Bait and Tackle. If you're interested in learning more about kingfish growth rates, be sure to check out the latest edition of the RAP report where we investigate these fast-maturing fish. Check it out at https://bit.ly/38fIAu1. The RAP report is produced from information provided by everyday fishos like you. Your fishing successes helps us to learn about fish growth and movements. If you're interested in contributing to this citizen science program and are lucky enough to catch a mulloway, kingfish, snapper, dusky flathead, tailor, black bream, and Spanish or spotted mackerel of any legal size, donate your fish frame at any participating tackle shop. Like Kurt, you could win a $50 tackle voucher or a RAP fishing shirt, plus find out interesting information about your fish ages and biology. Head to https://bit.ly/2jDuviN for more information on how to get involved in the RAP, plus locations of your closest drop-off point. The RAP is another great example of your fishing fees at work!

10.01.2022 Here we go again, this weeks attack on fishing comes from the anti-livebaiters. Our team will be contacting the minister Adam Marshall MP in the morning, to asc...ertain his position on the matter. You should too!! Meanwhile share the group out to your family and friends, post this on your favourite fishing pages and get the community ready for the next battle. #stopthelockout #stopthewaronfishing

05.01.2022 Minor changes to recreational fishing rules from 30 April 2021 relating to the use of ‘Opera House’ style yabby traps and the blue swimmer crab size limit Blue... Swimmer Crabs The size limit of blue swimmer crabs will increase from 6cm to 6.5cm to help assist with protecting spawning crabs and to improve the productivity of the stock through time. It will also provide consistency between the recreational and commercial fishing sectors. Yabby Net Giveaway The NSW Government is giving away 5,000 yabby nets to recreational fishers as part of a comprehensive program to phase out the use of enclosed 'Opera House' style yabby traps in NSW from 30 April 2021. 'Opera House' style yabby traps can pose a risk to native wildlife such as platypus, water rats and turtles, which can inadvertently get caught in traps. Open top nets allow mammals to exit through the top, unlike 'Opera House' style traps which only have openings on the sides. By transitioning to using open top nets, fishers can keep fishing, while also continue to do their part to protect our wildlife and ensure the ongoing health of our inland river systems. ‘Opera House’ style yabby traps are already prohibited east of the Newell Highway as well as parts of the Murray, Edward and Murrumbidgee Rivers west of the Newell Highway, where platypus are mostly abundant. Up to five nets, comprised of either open pyramid lift nets, hoop / lift nets or a combination of both, can be used to catch yabbies in all inland waters where it is legal to use lift nets. To assist with this transition, the Department of Primary Industries is giving away 5,000 open-top nets. To obtain a free open-top yabby net, please phone (02) 6051 7760 (Monday to Friday). You can also collect one from these locations: Albury Fisheries Office, 5/620 Macauley Street, Albury, 9.00am -3.00pm Tamworth Agricultural Institute, 4 Marsden Park Road, Calala, 8.00 am - 4.00pm Trangie Agricultural Research Centre, 7878 Mitchell Highway Trangie, 8.00 am - 4.00pm Narrabri- Australian Cotton Research Institute, 21888 Kamilaroi Highway, Narrabri. 8.30am - 4.30pm Narrandera Fisheries Centre- John Lake Centre, 70 Buckingbong Rd, Gillenbah, 9am - 2pm More information about the recreational fishing rule changes are available online at https://bit.ly/3sM9iBI, or by contacting your local NSW DPI Fisheries office. These rule changes are being implemented following consultation with and support from the NSW Recreational Fishing Advisory Council.
