Recreational Fishing Forums 2013

Hi All
From the DPI website. Check the link for dates!

Recreational Fishing Forums 2013
For the fifth year running Fisheries Victoria in partnership with VRFish will be holding 10 recreational fishing regional forums across the state in June of this year.
Popular fishing personalities will be coming along too. Rex Hunt will be sharing his knowledge at the Greensborough forum. Merv Hughes, author of Caught in the Deep, will be on pace at the Nagambie, Bendigo, Inverloch and Lakes Entrance forums.
The forums have proved to be a great success over the years, with a significant number of fishers from different demographics in attendance.
These forums provide fishers with the opportunity to have their say about growing recreational fishing in Victoria and learn more about what Fisheries Victoria is doing to improve fishing opportunities.
There have been a number of great suggestions made by fishers in the past.
Consulting widely with recreational fishers is a commitment in the State Government’s $16.2 million Recreational Fishing Initiative.

Very disappointing after attending more than 4 of these last year and 3 in 2011 that in the link provided there are many things not on the list of topics raised at the meetings, I will be bringing this up at the next few I attend. These meetings are about getting anglers to contribute to the fisheries management process not for Fisheries and DPI to sort through and select what they think is important enough to talk about.
