[Max Gerkin]

hey choppa,
who is scott wainwright, is he a fisheries inspector???? if not, i'd rather get the info from someone that is policing the waters.

[Nico.d.R]

every where i have read says any persons over 15 may have only four traps each . traps = pots dillys scoop nets any type of crab catching aperatise . and on the ring nets the ring can not be bigger than 125mm dia .

Choppa,
Asked the question to Fisheries and their reply says that collapsable pots are part of total of 4 pots/dillies per person over 15 able to be used in Queensland waters at one time. Me thinks someone out there definately telling you fibs.

This is what i found on Fisheries site for Queensland. Only 4 pots allowed.

Crabs, prawns and lobsters

Crabbing gear: hoop, dilly and crab pot. Crabbing gear

Crab pots and dillies

In tidal waters, when fisshing for blue swimmer crabs, mud crabs and spanner crabs no more than four crab pots or dillies (or a combination of pots and dillies) may be used per person. Crab pots and dillies must be marked by an identifying tag bearing the surname and address of the owner. When not ?xed to something they must have a light-coloured surface float attached, not less than 15 cm in any dimension, with the name of the owner clearly inscribed on it.
When fishing for spanner crabs the frame of an inverted dilly must be made of solid steel of a thickness of at least 6 mm and no more than 1 m in each of its dimensions. An inverted dilly net must be multi?lament. If a collapsible trap is used it must be made of rigid material and have one or more collapsible sides.
When fishing for blue swimmer crabs, mud crabs and spanner crabs the person in possession of the apparatus must be at least 15 years old. Regulated crabs must be removed and returned to the water immediately.

max choppa has been out of action for a day or two but will be back on deck all being well by the end of the weekend but to answer your query scott is a chief prosecutor who works for the department and has been involved in some fairly well publicised stories mainly in nsw/vic but i believe also here in qld Scott knew dads father (grandpa choppa who was in his own right a well known and respected member of the force for over 15-20 yrs) when he was alive and the 2 have kept in contact over the years Scott moved to brisbane last october on a permanent basis and is under the administration Hope this answers your question

all being fair,,, i thank those who have pm'ed and asked questions on what pills the doctors have been administrating once more....

my initial question and concern tho' is not about how many nets you can have,,, or the legal requirements of each net,,,, it was mainly aimed at DROP NETS

as posted above,,, there is none that i or google or the dpi&f can define,,,, which in lamens terms equals LOOP HOLE

the name has been registered

jarvis walker has stated that there initial sales stemmed from the southern states as fresh water cray and yabbie traps,,,, they then changed the name to MUD CRAB and the fisheries have not caught on

in the last 2 weeks i have had a bit of time on my hands and i have honestly searched all formats available,,,,, not one conviction/warning/or anything resembling the name exists in LEGAL terms

hence the reason why i asked,,,,,, why buy 120

as a footnote,,, they are described as a legal net conforming to the size restrictions as i have previously stated,,,, by the dpi&f

this has not been been laid to rest,,,, trust me

as a further footnote,,, scott is a well known and respected member of the prosecution department that no 2 son posted,,, he works within the legal arms of not only dpi&f,, but also a host of others,,, he as well as 4 other members of the friendship clan have placed time into this question,,,,,,,, and yet we still can't locate a definite identity on a drop net
