Mulloway research angling tournament (location wanted).
The Fisheries Conservation Technology Unit of the NSW Department of Primary Industries is looking for an appropriate river or estuary to undertake an experiment to assess the post-release survival of angler-caught mulloway. We would like to do this work over a weekend, sometime between September and December 2005, and involve as many recreational anglers as possible. #The experiment will be run similar to a typical tournament, but with anglers asked to catch and release between 50 and 200 mulloway into anchored sea cages, over a period of two days. #These fish will then be monitored for any mortalities over 5 days.
If you or your fishing club can provide a location and time to hold such an event please contact: Dr. Paul Butcher, NSW DPI on (02) 66483910 or Paul.Butcher@fisheries.nsw.gov.au

What I need is a hand to show me how to catch the buggers first.
I have invested 100's of hours for 2 runs and no hook ups.
2 days only makes 48 hours so my chances of contributing to the cage would be very slim at best :-)
Hi Paul,
good idea and I hope it gets off the ground. Doesn't look like you are going to get many replies here. I think 90% of members are from SEQ.
My suggestion would be Yamba/Iluka. A bloke there Tye Porter is a writer in Bush and Beach (monthly fishing mag) and has the local jewie population wired. Be worth asking if he could help, and maybe Bush and Beach could help promote it ???

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy
Thanks Jeremy. I will chase that up.
Yeah, clarence is a hotspot. Go into the local tackle stores and ask them for the gun jew anglers or put up a sign. everywhere from maclean to the mouth is chockers full of jew holes and spots.
Good luck
Matt
p.s can provide contact numbers if need be.
