    2nd of April is the end of dillies.

    http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/28_3065.htm

    Why some rules are introduced at the start of one month and others the start of the next month makes me scratch my head.

    G'day guys.
    I wasn't aware the use of dillies was to be illegal from next month.
    Just read the DPI reference quoted earlier in this thread, and the way I read it,it is only the inverted dilly (witches hat) which is to be outlawed, and the "traditional" dilly (net under the hoop) should still be OK

    Regards Bruce

    Hi Bruce that is the way i read it as well but there is talk around that fisheries are not sure of the regs themselves and there is talk they will not be allowing them either but who knows they say inverted dillies but do not say that you can not use the mesh so who knows if you can say maybe do a crabpot up with the mesh it still would not be and inverted dillie and would be no different to a pot unless the have a legal mesh size for pots i am still trying to find out

    I went for a walk over the hornibrook bridge yesterday and saw a guy walking off with a huge crab pot ( most likely had it sunk) with 3 huge bucks inside so the muddies must be moving..

    yep that they are but only in the main channels due to all the fresh as the alt water sits below the fresh
