Fish-Fax Issue 231, 23 October 2008
Wednesday, October 22 @ 21:25:48 EST by mrfisho (21 reads) |  Anglers
required to
help monitor key fisheries
Scientists
from the
Fisheries Victoria Research Branch are encouraging dedicated
recreational fishers to become volunteer angler diarists and help
monitor valuable fisheries.
Angler
diarists collect
information about spawning success, growth, survival and catch
trends. Equipped with special diaries and rulers, anglers use their
fishing gear and fishing knowledge to turn normal fishing trips into
valuable research expeditions.
The
Victorian angler diary
program has been running for over 15 years. Diarists record what they
catch, where they catch it and how long they fish for. Information
about under-size fish has been particularly valuable in the past,
especially for snapper and bream fisheries. It is an early indicator
of years of strong and weak recruitment, allowing catch limits to be
assessed in advance.
The
angler diary program
is expanding and needs the help of experienced anglers who fish
regularly (weekly to fortnightly) and have the commitment to record
their catches in a detailed diary.
Fisheries
Victoria is
especially interested in engaging with Port Phillip Bay anglers who
target snapper, King George whiting or flathead.
Angler
diarists who fish
for snapper near Beaumaris, Sandringham and Frankston, are needed to
help determine the effectiveness of trial artificial reefs, which are
scheduled for deployment in 2009 as part of the Government’s $13.5
million Enhanced Recreational Fishing Program.
Anglers
who fish for black
bream in Lake Tyers, estuary perch in Anderson Inlet, and Murray cod
and golden perch in Lake Mulwala are also being sought. The diary
anglers receive updates that keep them informed about how their
records are contributing to the overall monitoring of fish stocks and
related projects.
People
interested in
becoming angler diarists, or wanting to know more about Fisheries
Victoria’s
angler
diary program,
should contact Daniel Grixti at the Fisheries Research Branch on (03)
5258

Go Fishing in Victoria
Tuesday, October 14 @ 05:25:40 EST by mrfisho (54 reads) |
Go Fishing in Victoria and Catch a New Hobby
Now is the time to drop a line in the water and get hooked on fishing.
Fishing is a great social activity for family and friends and a perfect
way to explore Victoria’s wilderness and waterways.
Get away to the inland waters of Victoria and spend some time on the
water's edge with your family, experiencing a new fun-filled activity.
As part of the Victorian Government's Moving Forward action plan for
growth in Provincial Victoria, recreational fishing has been recognised
as a major social and economic contributor to local economies.
In order to boost recreational fishing and tourism opportunities
through the Go Fishing in Victoria initiative, 5 Premier Lakes are
regularly stocked with 'ready-to-catch' fish and Family Fishing Events
are frequently held to promote fishing as a family activity.
The Victorian Government is working closely with local councils,
angling clubs, Fishcare volunteers and the Victorian Recreational
Fishing peak body (VRFish) to implement this project.
New! Let's Go Fishing
Cards
Fisheries Victoria has released a great new free product designed
specifically for budding young anglers. The set of eight illustrated
‘Let’s Go Fishing’ cards covers a range of species which are popular
amongst recreational fishers. To view the full set of these cards see
the Getting
Started page.
A full set of the eight cards will be available upon request for a
limited time by calling 136186, contacting the nearest DPI office or
sending an email to go.fishing@dpi.vic.gov.au
and including a postal address.
Free Family Fishing Events
For information on Family Fishing Events that have been held in 2007
and for dates of forthcoming events in 2008 see the Family
Fishing Events page.

Boat Security while away from home.
Sunday, October 05 @ 20:13:16 EST by mrfisho (73 reads) |  Viking16 writes "Just arrived back from a week at Lakes Entrance with a mate and our 2 teenage boys. Had a fantastic time fishing at Lake Tyers, the Tambo land based and in the Lakes proper. Not a great number of fish to report but a few bream (all released) and a great flattie which was delicious.
Lake Tyers is magic, where else would you find a Tackle shop as part of the Pub!!!
Unfortunately had a number of items stolen from the boat at the caravan park we stayed at.
Tonnea cover on the boat, made sure all tackle boxes, rods, GPS unit etc. weren't in the boat but had 4 tubs of sinkers stolen, a 12v spotlight, toolbox with spanners, hammer, nail punches, spare fuses and other bits & pieces (which were under one of the seats)."

Fiah FAX Issue 230, 25 September 2008
Friday, September 26 @ 12:29:10 EST by mrfisho (64 reads) | Perfect time to catch a trout these school holidays
Over 17,000 ready to catch rainbow trout have been released into small lakes and dams across Victoria for the September school holidays.
Rainbow trout are relatively easy to catch, making them an ideal target for children. The majority of fish being released are advanced yearlings (150-200 g) suitable for immediate catch and keep.
In addition, some large ‘Premier’ fish, weighing over 1 kg and some ex-brood fish weighing 3 kg and over will be stocked into the five Premier Lakes; Lillydale Lake, Kennington Reservoir, Eildon Pondage, Lake Hyland and Jubilee Lake.

Angler Snares 'Record' Tiger Shark In Western Australian Waters
Wednesday, September 24 @ 13:52:32 EST by mrfisho (38 reads) | Dampier, Western Australia --
An angler has caught what is believed to be the biggest Tiger Shark ever captured in Western Australian waters.
The 3.6 metre shark weighed nearly 285 kilograms.
It was caught on a 10 kilogram line during the Dampier Classic fishing competition at the weekend.
Organiser Dennis Brian-Smith says the shark will not go to waste.
"There will be lots of scientific data taken from this," he said.
"There will be the liver and so forth will be sent away and examined and and also the stomach contents and methods that they determine the age and so forth of the fish which is fantastic as well."

14-year-old Kiwi Lands 'World Record' 268kg Bluefin Tuna
Wednesday, September 24 @ 13:46:11 EST by mrfisho (46 reads) |  Christchurch, New Zealand --
Fourteen-year-old angler Andrew Hargen may have netted himself a world record when he hooked this bluefin tuna off Westport.
Andrew, of Christchurch, caught the 268kg (590 pound) pacific bluefin tuna off the charter boat Te Ariki Nui on Thursday.
The fish took just over an hour to land on an 80lb line.
Andrew is no stranger to catching big fish. At age seven he caught a 117kg marlin in the Bay of Islands.
His father, Alan Hargen, said the catch could be a world record for Pacific bluefin tuna in his son's age group.
"He played it brilliantly."

Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence
Saturday, September 20 @ 05:35:07 EST by mrfisho (57 reads) | Do I Need a Licence?
A Recreational Fishing Licence (RFL) covers, all forms of recreational fishing in all of Victoria's marine, estuarine and freshwaters.
Unless you are exempt, a RFL is required when taking, or attempting to take, any species of fish by any method
including line fishing, bait collection, gathering shellfish, yabby fishing, prawning and spear fishing.
Who is Exempt?
You will not need a licence to fish if you are:
under 18 years of age;
70 years of age or over;.
or a holder of a :
Victorian Seniors Card;
Veterans' Affairs Pensioner Card;
Veterans' Affairs Repatriation Health Card coded (TPI)
Commonwealth Pensioner Concession Card coded either
(DSP), (DSP Blind), (AGE), (AGE Blind) or (CAR)
What Happens if I Don't Have a Licence?
Fisheries Officers will be on patrol to ensure fishers hold a valid licence. Penalties apply for fishing without a licence.
How do I Obtain a Licence?
Victorian anglers now have the option to buy a three-year Recreational Fishing Licence for $66. This presents a saving of $7.50 on the combined cost of purchasing three annual
licences. Anglers can still buy the one-year RFL for $24.50, the 28-day RFL for $12, and the 2-day RFL for $6.
The RFL may be purchased to come into effect on a future date for up to one year from the date of purchase. An RFL may not be loaned or transferred to another person.
The RFL is available from many DPI offices and more than 980 retail businesses throughout Victoria, including most retail fishing tackle stores.

Fish FAx issue 229

Trout season opening and closing of Murray cod season
As of midnight on Friday, September 5, freshwater anglers are once again able to fish for trout in Victorian rivers and streams as the salmonid season opens. Although anglers can fish for trout in most lakes year-round, opening weekend on the rivers is always an exciting time.
To further increase trout fishing opportunities, Fisheries Victoria has been busy in the winter months stocking waters with thousands of trout from our fish production facility at Snobs Creek.
Fisheries Victoria stocks over 1.1 million salmonid and native fish into Victorian waters every year.
Anglers are reminded to observe salmonid bag limits that apply to different waters.
Recent reports from anglers across the state indicate excellent catches of trout from lakes and impoundments. Fish caught are of a good size and in excellent condition, which is a promising sign for the re-opening of our rivers and streams to thousands of keen anglers.
Freshwater anglers are also reminded that the annual closed season for Murray cod began on Monday 1 September and continues until Sunday 30 November (inclusive).
Research has shown that Murray cod breed during the months of September through to the end of November. The closed season provides Murray cod with the opportunity to spawn without being targeted by anglers.
During this period, Murray cod, one of Australia’s best-known freshwater fish are fully protected and cannot be taken from rivers, streams and impoundments within Victoria. Anglers are warned that severe penalties apply to people found taking, or in the possession of, Murray cod during the closed season.
A closed season also occurs in all New South Wales (1 September to 30 November) and South Australian (1 August to 31 December) waters.
If members of the public suspect illegal fishing activity, they are asked to call our fisheries offence reporting line on 13 FISH (13 3474).
Three caught at Warneet with more than 900 Bass yabbies
Three people from Springvale will face charges after being caught this week with more than 900 Bass yabbies at Warneet, in Western Port.
The three were apprehended by Fisheries Officers and will be charged on summons for exceeding daily catch limits. In addition to the yabbies, several bait pumps and collection receptacles were also seized.
Bass yabbies are a popular bait used for species such as King George whiting and black bream. A daily catch limit of 100 Bass yabbies applies when collecting them for recreational purposes.
In Victoria it is illegal to sell recreationally caught fish and bait. Only those with a commercial licence are allowed to do so. Fisheries Officers are currently investigating a number of matters which relate to the unlicensed commercial take and sale of Bass yabbies.
Bass yabbies are an essential part of the food chain in Western Port. In particular, they are an important food source for migratory birds that frequent the area, so it is vital people stay within the daily bag limits and only take what they need for personal recreational use.
Members of the public who wish to report illegal or suspicious fishing activity are encouraged to contact 13 FISH (13 3474) 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Fishy fact – Scallops
Scallops are a delicacy that can be found in marine waters along the entire Victorian coastline. They are a bivalve shellfish that filter food while lying in beds of soft sand or mud.
Interestingly, scallops are hermaphrodites that will release both eggs and sperm into the water column in a mass ’broadcast spawning’, with each scallop capable of releasing up to 1 million eggs.
Unlike most other shellfish that will lie attached to the one spot, scallops are able to swim short distances, rapidly expelling water by opening and closing their shells in an action called ’butterflying’. They will do this to evade predators like starfish and octopus which like us enjoy their delicate flesh.
Divers may take up to 100 scallops per person, per day and must have a recreational fishing licence.
