Regulations species chart

[Barrymundi]

Great Chart,

Thanks for putting the effort into that.

I have a mate in DPI I will send the link to.

The original link in the first post in this string has been continually up dated.
It has had many changes and up dates based on new information and suggestions from members on this chatboard.
(last update - 2pm today, Jan 21).
You can also download the .PDF or a MS Word version from my web site
http://www.ausfish.com.au/nugget/regtable.pdf
http://www.ausfish.com.au/nugget/regtable.doc

While it may look like a simple document - it has taken hours and hours by Gary Fooks and myself to get it to this stage.
Varying common names and varying Latin (scientific) names have been a major headache.
Another major problem is finding someone in authority that can answer the questions we are posing - I am yet to find someone that can positively (with authority) clarify some irregularities in the ACT and the summary brochure.

It is getting to a stage where it might end up a small booklet (like the tide book) with colour photos, a species per page with a larger list of common (colloquial) names etc etc.

If you do see something in the species table that you don't think is right or is confusing - PLEASE email or PM me the details.

Great work nugget.

A booket with colour photo's is a good idea .
i have herd that a number of years a go a you could buy series of credit card sized plastic colour palets with a picture along with size and bag limits that would fit nicely in to your tackle box.This mite not be the go now days as this goverment will change the rules again in 6 months if not sooner . ???

cheers bob

May I suggest a note about charter and extended fishing trip and changes in bag limits.

Also a column about what can be filleted and what cannot be filleted (CRFF vs no reef fish).

Great Chart. got my old man to laminate for me so i can roll it up and chuck it in the tackle box. Great idea.
Cheers

I've added the link to the .pdf version to our site. We get about 15,000 hits a month so I'm sure it will get some attention. I'll also print copies to hand out to our members on Sunday for their feedback. And I'll leave copies at the shop at Fishermans Landing where a heap of visitors take off to the Palm Islands, etc.

(I've even (finally!) added a link to Ausfish!)

Thanks for all your work. You and Gary have taken the mystery out of the new regulations and a few more fish may survive the slaughter because of it.

I may have missed it but are spotted mackeral on there at 60cm and is it 5 bag?

Nugget,

I think the booklet with the photos is a great idea. I reckon I could find at leat 20 customers for you!

May be worth contacting the DPI to see if they will donate some of their hard earned tax payers money to help with the up front costs.

Cheers,

Simon

Yes - I've changed the layout so that all the mackerel are on the one page - spotties dropped off to the second page which is probably why you missed it.

Top work Dave, cheers Craig.

Listen guys ..You only need the rule book if you catch small fish. If you only catch big fish you dont need to worry.

The only other alternative is to have someone put a hex on you (as has happened to me) and Catch no bloody fish!!! ??? ??? ???
