PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 spottie mackeral Banned
Wondering peoples opinions on spottie mackeral. Personally I think they should be banned from commercail capture and rec anglers should have a bag of 1 and min size of 80cm and max of 90cm to conserve this species for the future it currently cops a hammering from both sides although ring netting was banned not enough I say.
The commercial only catch about half of there total allowable catch (140tn) the last 3 years average is about 65 tn and they have a in possesion limit of 150. As i read in fishin mag.
Bag limit of 1 c'mon now thats a tad over the top don't you think.
If people are saying there seems to be more around and of bigger size has got to be of the banning of ring netting. But they are pushing for the ban to be lifted because they can't catch their quota.
For me personally i'd say leave it as is for a few more years and see how it pans out then have a review.
It is good to see you are concerned but maybe to much.
Yeh oztrav they do freeze ok and I think they are we'll managed but it's April Fools Day and since there a much sought after species, myself included, i thought I would have got more bites than that but I guess thats why it's called fishing and not catching .
