using burley in the city of cambridge

Had a discussion with a regular customer who reckons its against council law to use burley on the beaches in the city of cambridge which apparently includes beaches like city beach and floreat.

 

Can anyone confirm or dismiss this at all?

Oh yes, we rid the riff raff from our beach, toff toff Surprised   Looks like it may snowball across all councils with discretion of any ranger whos anti-fishing?

 

Looks like an open book for what ever we want to ban?

  • Fishing is prohibited anywhere it may cause an inconvenience
or injury to the general public.
  • The use of berley to attract fish is strictly prohibited at all
times.

dont think a burley cage with pollard/chook pellets and oil is gonna end up with a trip in the divvy van. I think it refers more to the  guys that stake offal and fish frames in onion bags specifically targetting sharks. Typical council red tape shite, just trying to cover there arses in case big whitey decides to show up at there local. besides town of cambridge have had a  good reasons to cover there arses lately

the beaches under their care. From memory that document states you can't use burley at certain beaches. However, I think they are more concerned with people trying to burley up sharks.
