The closure only applies to waters north of about Bundaberg if my information is correct...

"East of Cape York between 10°41’ South and 24°50' South"

Won't help me though, can't get out fishing this weekend

Don't forget that Spanish Mackerel are no take during the closure as well. >

Are you sure about the Spanish Mackeral being off-limits? That's not my understanding of it. Tuna, Mackeral and other pelagics are ok I thought. Where did you get that info?

The closure only applies to Coral reef fin fish. Mackeral aren't included. If you do catch a spanish mackeral you have to cut off one of it's pectoral fins, just like coral reef fin fish.

here's a couple of links that spell it out:
