Last weekend of Zee old rules

From what we got told apparently the rules change this week for catching snapper etc - (unless your a commercial ship, free to "rip the undies out" from the rest of the fishing world") ....
On the water by 6.20 this morning - and in similar fashion to our commercial "mates" set a small 25 hook long line, then rigged a stray line for some reel fun........ what a cool day on the water ..... 15 snapper - biggest 680mm smallest 350mm , 4 x kawahai, 1 x trev, 1 x gurnard & thats what we kept let alone what we sent packing

Yummm..... fresh fish for dinner for the next few days ..... Nice to have before heading bush next weekend eh :D

Surf casting was OK this weekend too,fish a little picky but worth the effort.
Wasn't sure when the rules change but thought it was April.

Nice to have a supply of fresh fish in the freezer again

One of the few things I really miss is some decent salt water fishing. Well done boys
