What type of goose puts their crab pots in the channel of the Brissy River ?

I think too that lots of people don't know that you are not permitted to fish at all no way no how inbetween the beacons all the way out to the front from the inner beacons to the fairway beacon...its specified on the charts.

We realy need to have fisheries inspectors out there policing the regulations....if a pro crabber ( or anybody else for that matter) fails to maintain his floats clean & visible as specified.... pot and float confiscated and a fine

And it should be specified in the fishing regs that it is illegal to set pots in a marked or regularly used channel....currently it isn't.

Couldn't agree more .........
btw - is it anchoring or fishing between the markers ? ..... I thought it was just anchoring

It is prohibited to anchor, berth or moor a ship or the use of fishing aparatus including crabbing pots, collapsable traps, dillies or inveted dillies in the waters near the entrance beacons..........discribed as.........

and it basicly goes on to discribe a BIG diamond shape between the near end of the measured mile and the yellow and green front beacons...and ( here is the good bit) out as far as the jays reef bouy north of mud on one side and out to the isolated danger bouy a similar distance out the other side.

interesting that it is marked on the big charts but not on the beacon to beacon...but it is written and described in both.

I am surprised there is not some similar restriction in the channel all the way into the inner bar markers.
