Gladstone CPA wharves are suposed to be closed to fishing too, but can't find out which wharve's are closed and what is the exclusion zones and distances. Anyone know where I can find out, there is nothing on the CPA website.

Bugger, My MSIC card (unaccompanied access to port area's) doesn't allow access for fishing ;D, only for work. But I had to ask. Got a smile out of the lady doing my paperwork. No access to the wharves is just a sign of the times we live in today.
