If things got drastic it'd be better to try banning fishing from important breeding areas first to avoid people cutting a swathe through large aggregations of fish.
Banning fishing for them altogether is a last resort, I'm not sure what the situation is in SA but you'd have to think things are pretty dire for a politician to be willing to **** that many people off.
3 year ban in SA

I personally don't take pinkies or flathead unless they are 30cm min, under that they are to small.

Re: 3 year ban in SA
I don't know how true this is but I remember reading an article not long ago from fisheries news and apparently a 28cm snapper is old enough to have at least been through one breeding cycle.

Re: 3 year ban in SA
Correct. Size limits are made so that the average fish of that size has spawned at least once. Some may have spawned twice, others once and some not at all they base it off a average.
SA fisheries are in the same problem as their electricity supply and PIRSA are the only ones to blame for sheer mismanagement. We won't have the same issues here especially now we're putting significant effort into shellbed reef restorations and have provented large scale commercial fishing that dredges the bottom for 2 decades.
You can not have an almost encouraged slaughterfest post the closed month that made the worst of tea tree look like a tiny dent, alongside an unabated commercial bait fishery to prop up the supposed sustainable tuna growth farming when combined with mass dredging of vital larvae growth grounds in the form of prawn trawling without expecting biomass collapses.

Re: 3 year ban in SA
Just my opinion but I'd like to see a minimum in the vicinity of 30 to 35 cm... and harsher penalties for under size fish kept.

I seem to remember Mr Bug did say the fishery in SA has been mismanaged for years..

Lots of people would be going crazy with snapper fever Jason.Jasonfish1234 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:08 pmWhat if they ban right now, and everyone just have high snapper fever. You don't to snapper for 5 years.CarlG wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:06 pmA good start would be reducing the current limit of 10 to 5, and absolutely slamming people who take undersize/over bag.

Re: 3 year ban in SA
i think they should put a cut of where if a fish is over 80cm you have to through it back because they're the big breeders.
