The Qld fisheries guys are probably rolling on the floor laughing their arses off......at the NSW response.
Mate , tell em their dreaming!, and this is why.
1.IF fishing from the NSW side with a RFL, they could cast all-the-way across the river(no RFL needed) ,pull in a 50cm MC, and be allowed to keep it!!!
2. If fishing from the Qld side, just buy a weekend nswRFL , catch a 50cm. MC anywhere ,and say it was caught "over halfway" , and be able to tell the Qld fisheries guys ,if they turned-up, to piss-off ??? as it was caught in NSW 'waters'
(I don't really think they'd like that )
Look NSW, it's where the angler "IS", not where the fish is deemed to be hooked, as by NSW BS, no court is able to prosecute anybody without video/laser evidence, if the fish swims over the halfway mark during capture(due to point 2.)
Qlders can fish the river width, but abides by Qld "in possesion" sizes, on Qld dirt, i.e. no < 60cm. MC's allowed.
NSWers can also fish the width, and take > 50cm MC's ,and keep them ,due to NSW size limits , which doesn't have a slot-limit > > either, but legally they are on NSW dirt.
Must be something in the water in NSW ,to think so STUPIDLY
Really, the point is, if your on the QLD bank, what legal right or authority has a NSW fishing inspector. Once he steps past halfway he is nobody. Ask to see his passport
Reason for closed season for Cod on Border Rivers was to stop the double standards that existed. That is 1 state trying to protect breeding fish and restricting harvesting for several months while anglers on the other side of the river are pulling fish out of the same river to kill. Its just a shame NSW don't increase the minimum size of 60cm state wide to match QLD. Anyone that targets Murray Cod in QLD would have noticed the average capture size has increased a lot sence QLD increased size limit from 50 cm to 60 cm . The water athorities need to get there act together to stop cold water pollution around cod closed season as most of the cod in the Border rivers have been stocked . There is very little wild fish in a lot of these waters.
