Snappa,
I noticed you have cut half the tail off your fish. Are you doing this so you know which fish belong to which people or are you doing this in the belief your are removing the pectoral fin? There is no requirement to remove the pectoral (side) fin on snapper or pearl perch - just coral reef fin fish as listed in the plan by DPI. So those parrot will need to be trimmed.

yes i markED all my fish [only because i was in someone else boat] and when i give a report, they are my fish i dont include what the others catch like some...
normally i dont mark my fish and anyone that has been out with me knows any fish NOT mark in the esky is the SKIPPERS..
and
yes i knowto cut off the pect fin.. if only i can remember to do it on a hot bite
and
yes the pectoral fin was cut off the parrot, also the pearlies because i was not sure.
keep a keen eye on the pics and you may notice the famous snappa RIG l.o.l.
Why??Originally Posted by Trout
Why what?
If you mean, why must you remove a pec fin from Coral Reef Fin fish, its called Queensland fishing regulations, and I quote.
In relation to coral reef fin fish a recreational fisher:
must not possess on board any boat fish taken from a boat other than in one of the following forms - whole, gilled or gutted or filleted;
may possess on board a boat a fillet of a fish other than a Chinese footballer (blue spot) trout as long as the length of the fillet is at least 40cm, and skin and scales are attached to the fillet;
must not return fish taken ashore from a boat and filleted and returned to a boat unless the length of the fillet is at least 40cm, and skin and scales are attached to the fillet;
must not put whole or gilled and gutted fish into cool storage without first removing a pectoral fin (see illustration in “Fish measurement”); or
must not bring live fin fish ashore.
If you didn't already know this and are in the habit of catching em, you might save yourself a whole heap of money by acquainting yourself with the following.

I was never aware of that. Looks like I need to read up on the rules again.
Lucky I can't catch fish!!
I had a quick look before I posted the "Why" but I must have skimmed too quickly. Missed that paragraph.
How does removing the fin help the DPI??I can understand the laws regarding fillets (skin and scale on, larger than 40cm, etc) this helps in identifying the species, but how does removing the pect fin help??
Yeah I have not had to cut any pec fins off yet either , but I am living in hope. 8)
It is a fairly new regulation.
The theory is it stops them turning up in fish shops. ie reduces the black market trade by rec fishos. So if an inspector see a fish for sale with its pec fin removed he can get excited and actually do some work.
Thats a good idea!!
Still in my perfect world the rec fishers sell to the shops, and there is a TOTAL BAN on any form of NETTING behind a boat. Only a line and hook allowed to catch fish. I can dream.
