Local Creeks & Throw nets
Submitted by Mr Bigalow on Tue, 2011-12-20 15:08
Is it just me who is lately noticing numerous people throw netting in the middle of a creek?
I’m sure the rule was 500m from a creek mouth, creek inclusive??
I am not trying to stir anyone up or point the finger but allot of the boats had people with local fishing competition shirts and fishing club stickers plastered on their boats, am I missing something here, am I incorrect on the rules?
Thanks in advance.

If you read the rules throw
If you read the rules throw nets are only allowed for bait collection and as far as I know there is no problem using them in creeks. We have been checked numerous times by fisheries whilst in our local creeks and no problems as long as you have a net licence.

I have just copied this from the Fisheries web site so for the Karratha people I think this may be helpful to you.
The Fisheries web site has all the rules and regs in it and is worth a read for anyone that is not to sure if what they or others may want to do .
