09.02.2022 Wondering what bushfire recovery looks like? Check this out. In 2019, Australia was ravaged by bushfires. From the tips of the Queensland boarder, all the way down to Victoria, fire tore through local communities, bushlands and of course rivers and creeks which are home to many of our native and endagered fish species. In looking to do something about it, OzFish teamed up with landowners and rec fishos to kick start the rehabilitation process. To document just what this loo...ks like, we took the camera's out to the banks of the Nymbodia river, all in a hope to help the local endagered freshwater eastern cod #BushfireRecovery #BetterHabitatBetterFishing #EndageredSpecies #HabitatRestoration #MarineEcosystems #TreesForFish #RiparianZone #OzFishUnlimited #PoweredByBCF BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing NSW DPI Fisheries Landcare NSW Fishing World

07.02.2022 Today we are thrilled to a launch our latest chapter for the Macquarie and Bell rivers in Wellington by establishing the OzFish Wellington Chapter! And what better assignment to start with then hosting the much loved and long-running Burrendong Classic for Easter 2022. Nice work crew, both the fish and the competition is in safe hands If you would like to register for the catch and release comp, head over to: https://ozfish.org.au/event/burrendong-classic-2022/ Check out th...e full story below #ChapterAnnouncement #BurrenbongClassic #FishingCompetition #BetterHabitatBetterFishing #OzFishUnlimited #PoweredByBCF https://ozfish.org.au//new-ozfish-chapter-takes-on-the-bu/

01.02.2022 As kids, we were told to stay away from them. But now, as fishos, we are casting our lines as close to them as possible, funny that. This is because shellfish are vital fish habitats for many of our favourite recreational species, and play an integral role in water quality, food supply and shelter for many juvenile fish. To find out more, we tasked Jono, Will and Dom to hit the water and see what they are all about, and what better way to do that then on bread and butter spe...cies like squire and bream. This project has been supported by OzFish’s Growing River Stewardship Project assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environment Trust. #Shellfish #Oysters #Clams #Substrate #HabitatRestoration #MarineEcosystems #GenerationRestoration #GrowingRiverStewardship #EnvironmentalAwareness #OzFishUnlimited #BetterHabitatBetterFishing #PoweredByBCF Lowrance Recreational Fishing Alliance of NSW BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing Fishing World

28.01.2022 Dates are set for the 2022 Murrumbidgee Lure Casters Comp at Pipers Reserve. First weekend in April (Fri 1st, Sat 2nd, Sun 3rd). I’ll do a proper post about it tomorrow with a link to buy tickets. Save the date! Should be another great weekend.

25.01.2022 OzFish Wagga are looking for 5-10 people to help us plant native vegetation at our Tarcutta Creek habitat restoration project. The planting day will take place this Saturday from 10am-2pm, those that attend will also get a couple fishing goodies to take home. Send us a message if you’re interested

25.01.2022 Today we are thrilled to announce that every BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing store in Queensland will now be housing a RIG RECYCLE bin! Yep, you heard that correctly. We have teamed up with Tangaroa Blue and BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing to tackle old tackle by allowing rec fishos across the sunshine state to dispose of their old, broken and unwanted tackle into bins at any Queensland store which will be recycled or upcycled for fishing charities. Regardless of whether you... are a fair-weather fisho, or a hardcore tackle rat, this is a moment worth celebrating. Join us in supporting and protecting the sport we all love.

22.01.2022 Our annual Xmas raffle has kicked off again. The prize line up is massive, with the Engel fridge full of lures up for grabs again and much more. This year, you can easily buy your tickets online, with some great bulk ticket packages. We have recently completed our major habitat restoration project on the Tarcutta Creek and have two projects planned for Lake Albert in 2021. We can’t do these projects without our great volunteers and our volunteers can’t do it without much nee...ded funding support. 100% of the money raised will stay local in your favourite fishing spots. Get in touch if you can’t manage to get them online and we’ll sort it out https://www.rafflelink.com.au/ozfishwaggaxmasraf20

20.01.2022 That's a warp, the Seeds for Snapper Seagrass Weekend in Cockburn Sound has finished. With a whopping 300,000 seagrass seeds collected so far and more coming in. The third annual Seeds for Snapper weekend was an incredible success. Some super keen volunteers still out there now collecting more over the next few days to help us get to the 1 million mark... We should get there, there is plenty more seed left. Stay tuned for an update. BUT! None of it would have been possible wi...thout all of our volunteer's hard work and dedication. These guys put in nights building nets, collecting seed, cooking for the hungry volunteers and more. From the bottom of the ocean thank you so much Seeds for Snapper 2020 crew! Without our volunteers, we simply couldn't do this. It was a mammoth community effort and each and every one of you raised your hand to help. So amazing to see and we wanted to say thank you. We hope everyone had as much fun as us and we can't wait to do it all again with you next year. This year there was mermaids, divers, snorkelers, rec fishers, families, kids the young and old - all getting involved in seagrass restoration. Watch this space for updates on the project as the photos and video are coming in to show the world just what happens when we all get involved in habitat restoration to make fishing better for everyone.

19.01.2022 With the majority of rec anglers casting their first line off a local Jetty or pontoon, we thought it was time we offer these areas a helping hand. In partnership with Lowrance, we are pimping the fish habitat on a large number of private jetties across the Peel Harvey region, in a bid to turn these vital marine habitats into an underwater forest of vertically hanging shellfish reefs. Sounds interesting? Good, because we need volunteers to make it happen.

19.01.2022 OzFish support native fish rescue and relocation: Lachlan River 177 native Murray Cod, Golden Perch and Silver Perch are now swimming safely in the waters of Wyangala Dam after an intensive fish rescue operation. Volunteers from Inland Waterways OzFish were urgently called in to assist NSW DPI Fisheries with the relocation effort, enacted under a DPI rescue and relocation permit, after the native fish inadvertently found themselves in a precarious position and in need of a he...lping hand to ensure their survival with summer fast approaching. The operation follows numerous large-scale efforts to rescue native fish from drought affected stretches of rivers in late 2019, where OzFish volunteers assembled specialist fish relocation pods and equipment under the guidance of expert NSW DPI Fisheries staff. Five volunteers from Dubbo’s Inland Waterways OzFish headed out to this latest rescue, where Murray Cod up to around 110cm in length, along with scores of yellowbelly and threatened Silver Perch were saved. It was great to once again work alongside the DPI Fisheries team to get a good outcome for our native fish, Inland Waterways OzFish Chapter president Matt Hansen said. To see the team in the water, high fiving and cheering as those big Murray Cod were cradled to the relocation pods was an incredibly satisfying experience. We estimate that some of the bigger fish were of considerable age, and those fish don’t just grow that big overnight, so to see them saved is a fantastic outcome. Our native fish have been through the drought from hell over the past few years, with shocking large scale fish kills in many parts of the Murray-Darling Basin, so to see another couple of hundred escorted to safer waters is something our OzFish volunteers will never forget. The rescue work is an example of how recreational fishers from OzFish are working to help our native fish. The work across Australia is supported by BCF and its customers with this project made possible because of the experience and skills gained by OzFish volunteers who were part of the 2019/20 Native Fish Drought Response work with NSW DPI Fisheries. To learn more about the project and get involved with OzFish around Australia, go to www.ozfish.org.au or call 1800 431 308.

16.01.2022 Not all is lost for the endangered Macquarie perch in Sydney’s Georges River! Recently, OzFish participated in environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling of the water and found that the endangered species is still present in the system. The Macquarie perch was once one of the most abundant freshwater species, but it has been diminished over recent decades to habitat loss and degradation.

16.01.2022 OzFish is thrilled to announce today that we will be extending our Seeds for Snapper seagrass restoration initiative into South Australia. Adelaide can now roll-up their sleeves and help OzFish in our vital work. Following three incredibly successful years of the project running in Cockburn Sound Western Australia, we thought it was time to see this habitat restoration take off in Adelaide and help restore 6,000 hectares that have been lost. This is a huge collaborative effor...t that has only become possible with support from key project partners getting it across the line such as BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing, Navico and Green Adelaide. Thanks to all of the people already behind us and to the community that is about to get involved we know it's going to be an exciting summer! We are now calling on rec fishers and the wider community in Adelaide to collect as many seagrass fruits as possible this December. Register now and help play your part in restoring our beautiful seagrass meadows.

15.01.2022 Tarcutta Creek Habitat Restoration Project complete! Thanks to all volunteers who attended our tree planting day this weekend. We managed to plant all 1000 trees, shrubs and grasses in one day! They are all watered in and the area is fenced off. We have a promotional project video in the making that we hope to have released soon. We may call on some volunteers to help us with watering days depending on how much rain comes in the next few months so keep an eye out for that t...oo. The site is already looking very fishy and we hope to see the results of our hard work soon We have two more revegetation projects to conduct around Lake Albert in early 2021 and would love to see more people involved in the restoration and rehabilitation of our local waterways, so stay tuned.

15.01.2022 With the help of NSW DPI Fisheries, we're educating tomorrow's fishers. Our OzFish Unlimited Tenterfield Chapter held a two-day fishing clinic and native bush tucker incursions for students at The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School this week. Sadly the students camp was canceled due to COVID but OzFish stepped in to help out. Over the two days, Tenterfield President Harry Davey got 92 students up to date with the latest info on fish handling, knots and rigs, casting, sustainable fishing practices, and of course fish habitat. Harry and his partner Mel Bridge also personally donated a native garden to the school which the students planted out over the two days. OzFish will be back next term for some more science lessons on #fishhabitat. #FutureOzFishers right there people.

13.01.2022 Members of the OzFish Maroochydore Chapter are serious about fish habitat! Their latest development sees the group of keen recfishers aiming to bring back the oyster reefs that once lined their beautiful river. For some they are considered the kidneys of the river and the local anglers know how important they are for water clarity and fish habitat, which is why this week they headed down to the well-established OzFish Shell Recycling Centre at the Port of Brisbane to gathe...r tips and tricks on how to best collect, sterilise, wash and prepare the shells. It's great to see our OzFish chapters and volunteers working together.

02.01.2022 OzFish Unlimited volunteers teamed up with fishers from Galston Glenorie Fishing Club and Windybanks Fishing Club to clean up Cattai Creek. While the fishers pulled predominately large debris and rubbish from their kayaks and boats, they were supported on foot by volunteers and staff from Hawkesburycitynsw, Coles, Tangaroa Blue, Bass Sydney and the Clean Up Australia team who covered a number of kilometres of riverbank pulling up smaller items such as bottles, foam packagi...ng and... over 65 rubber balls! Can you believe that? Overall the haul significantly reduced the volume of debris that would have otherwise flowed downstream in the next wet-weather event. This was just one of four rubbish removal events coordinated in the region to clean up the creeks and estuaries following from the devastation of the March 2021 floods, one of the hardest hit across NSW. Volunteers hope this is just the beginning of restoring Cattai Creek. It's particularly important for our OzFish chapter members and the fishing clubs, as they all know our motto #BetterHabitatBetterFishing BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing Photo Credit: Coles
