I completely agree with this. There's plenty of bream in those places, so not much sense in a stocking program. A mulloway stocking program would get my attention. Better yet, effective management of mulloway in the Coorong, giving them a chance to replenish themselves naturally, would be even more interesting.

^ this i.e. the size limit and bag limit down there is ridiculous ! Steve

Not a fan of a license without first seeing the government make a commitment to improving the fishery in stead of the status quo of 'optimum utilisation' or scorched earth policy in fishery management (salt water environment). I'm like 85% of SA rec fishers that are not interested in fishing the fresh so you can have a license to fish the fresh if you want as this is the only place rec fishers get a look in with current fishery management but keep us salt water fishers out of it. Also I wouldn't be expecting any new areas opening up in the port as the new Liberal government is handin

ok so here it is in its final form - I tried to get away with using a single nut and no springs - but the rig had a tendency to self tighten when too much drag was applied to the spool. So I made some springs - then some more refined springs -then added a second locking nut and now it actually works like it should

Strange location indeed, I think all members live metro Adelaide or close to it. Minister trying to make it difficult? Maybe he just wanted to get some Happy Birds chips...

Yep Plus it will require those that work to take a day off and by memory I think they only get compensation for the travel costs. Steve

Not real keen on the concept of a fishing license. I can see the merits in them but I don't want to be taxed for something that I'm doing for fun, whether I'm catching fish or getting donuts, it just doesn't feel right.

Optimistic about this selection. I hope they can achieve some positive outcomes for recreational fishing in SA. And fingers crossed for freshwater folks that the opening of all reservoirs gets final approval with their assistance. And maybe more landbased access and infrastructure in the Port River. But we might need to introduce a recreational fishing licence for that to raise the funds. Works in other states. Just wondering what other people think about it?
