spoke with fisheries

Had a yarn to fisheries to find out about the number of hooks you can use on one bait. They said that ganged hooks on a mullie would be deemed as a lure and would be exceptable for use. As of now there have been now gazzeted changes to the rules. that means that the laws have not been passed into law but the demesal extention will go ahead as planned. They were as confused and disappointed with some of the changes as we are i suppose. So things are still up in the air. i asked about school holiday end dates and they were a bit miffed at the lack of actual dates and whether it was going to be the public school holidays or private ones as some finish later than others.
All in all a cock up for sure.

Heard on grapevine
That in the ban . There could be other fish species included , Could be bull dust , could be rumour . Time will tell . They’re hammering the ban on radio all the time . Officers don’t make the rules they just enforce them , no wonder they’re confused . They can probably see the stupidity in them . Like many others do .plenty of time left for them to put another spin on it .

Grapevines grow best when there is bullshit spread around the roots
.
The information vacuum that Fisheries has allowed to persist means there are people who just make stuff up to fill the void all the time.
RFW don't know, Fisheries are not telling, its game they constantly play to announce at the last minute so no time to jump up and down.
Every single year on the lobster changes, same thing happens as well-it works for them especially while they have a sore ass from the last 6 months.

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Another rumour I've heard is
Another rumour I've heard is that all recs will have to log their catches via an app and fines handed out for any misinformation.
