I basically got the same answer, however he did emphasis the "don't transfer fish between waterways" part. That is dead or alive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome place, spent many a summer there as a kid, hoping to head down this Xmas. We used to fish a place that we all called the "secret spot" don't know why we thought it was secret, had a parking area and picnic tables! Basically it was right down stream of the inlet near a few abandoned oyster leases, was a great fishing spot. The inlet as a whole is a good fishing area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have seen that, but it's also specific to freshwater fishing. I'm interested in the dpi response, as it's sketchy and contradictive throughout the site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear that! I was recently in tweed, try making a dinner reservation! Game of 20 questions! The old iPhone doesn't keep up with the time updates either, had to manually set it. Pain in the rear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the section that says don't transfer fish between waterways and dispose of away from waterways is sketchy at best. Doesn't say dead or alive. Again but, I read it as a guide, not a law. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reading the above it looks like recommendation rather than law, so it may be ok? Qld are tough on it so keep it in mind if you travel north! 200k is an expensive fishing trip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but then there's this; Report a pest species! For recreational fishers: Don’t transfer fish between waterways – and don’t use live fish as bait in freshwater (it’s illegal!) Obtain a permit to stock fish – and buy fingerlings from a registered hatchery to minimise the chances of contamination with undesirable species. Don’t return pest fish to the water – if you catch a pest fish, kill it humanely and dispose of it appropriately away from the water. Prevent unwanted hitchhikers – check, clean and dry boats, equipment and fishing gear between waterways. I'm kinda confused. I know it's definitely illigal in QLD and sa, but can't find specifics for NSW. Can't understand how different states may take different approaches to pests like that. Qld laws; This fish is declared noxious in Queensland. It is unlawful to possess noxious fish alive or dead or to use them as bait. It is illegal to place or release noxious fish alive or dead into Queensland waterways. Penalties of up to $200,000 apply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it's illegal, might want to confirm it but I think it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, I just checked it out. That thing was an absolute wreck when you started! That's a quality restoration! Well done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's gold! I can just imagine the looks you got walking into the aquarium with a fishing rod! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny the learning never stops, not once have I ever locked the drag to rinse, or ever heard of it for that matter. Have to remember to do that next time out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 2 sonic pros, one with the cazna 2500 and a heavier Rod with the cazna 4000. I can't fault them, both do exactly what I got them for and come pretty cheap. The only thing I would suggest with sp fishing is do it light, the lighter the better. Lite line, jig heads and leader will give you more feel. With jig heads, start lite and work your way up if you're not getting to the bottom. Too many fish passed up with people fishing too heavy. The berkley drop shot is another good rod and will give similar results. Shimano reels are the best bang for buck in my opinion, the sienna and cazna being my 2 budget picks.

Up here, you pay one fee of $90 for the indicator to be on your driver license, after that it's included in your license fee, no extra cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not convinced of that. It was combined in QLD a few years back, both on different demerit systems. No points on a boat license up here, really at the discretion of the court. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The reason being, you throw a bait out, you are only covering the one area, with an imitation, you throw it all around the fishing area without harm to the livie. It's all situational and target species. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
