Hello to all i wonder if anybody can tell me if catnets are legal or even allowed above twin bridges on the brisbane river fernvalei have been fishing this area for around a year and a half from my viking for bass with good results but just latley there have been people turning up with thier tin boats cast nets crab traps and such like just this weekend 2.30am sat mornig i was stowing my gear in the yak when these two guys from in town bris pull up with cast net crab traps and beach type rods they look at the water and state it must be low tide i laffs and says your above mnt crosby weir no tide up here puzzled looks from the lads i mention that i did not think that cast nets were legal up here as it was fresh water and that there were no crab. was told its our first time here and besides who is going to know i replied i have a camera with that the cast net was stowed under boat seat as they headed up river i later saw them using said net and lowering traps into water allthough i could not get close enough for a pic as the tin boat had a petrol motor and they were 300- 400 meters up river from were i landed my first bass for the morning anyway my mian concern is for the platypuss and schools of freshwater gar i see on each trip up the river
Cheers Bosco
