DUSKY FLATHEAD STOCKING MILESTONE FOR EAST GIPPSLAND
More than 225,000 dusky flathead have been stocked into East Gippsland estuaries over the last five years, further improving recreational fishing opportunities and supporting regional businesses that rely on tourism.
Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) Chief Executive Officer Travis Dowling said angler interest in the species continues to grow and this season’s stocking of 62,300 dusky flathead fingerlings recognised their significance as a sportfish and on the family dinner table.
“Since the removal of commercial net fishing in the Gippsland Lakes, we have stocked close to 190,000 duskies into that system alone, including more than 47,000 fish this year,” Mr Dowling said.
Dusky flathead are one of several species stocked annually by the VFA, which will again release a nation-leading 10 million fish across Victoria, more than all other states and territories in Australia combined.
Dusky fingerlings grow quickly and reach the minimum size of 35 centimetres in two to three years. An upper size limit of 55cm ensures large, mature female duskies are protected from harvest and can breed naturally in estuaries when favourable conditions prevail.
Other waters stocked this season were Mallacoota Inlet (10,000) and Bemm River (5,000).
Mallacoota has long been a popular destination with anglers targeting duskies however the Gippsland Lakes has burst onto the scene in the last few years offering trophy fish of 90cm and more, along with smaller fish in the 35-55cm slot limit that may be kept for a meal.
Although these giant flathead must be released, they are considered a ‘fish of a lifetime’ by many, and are attracting sportfishers from far and wide, especially lure casters in boats.
Some of these same keen anglers are also the volunteers who help collect broodfish duskies each January, which are carefully transported to a hatchery where their offspring grow to fingerling size over seven to eight weeks.
An increasing number of recreational fishers are enjoying the Gippsland Lakes fishery, which has traditionally been famous for black bream, but now offers something more, adding to its year-round appeal and providing a valuable tourism boost for local businesses like caravan parks, pubs, bakeries and cafes.
The VFA is offering a $1000 tackle voucher to the first angler who lands a dusky of a metre or more from the Gippsland Lakes. Learn more at www.vfa.vic.gov.au/gippslandmetery

FISHERIES OFFICERS CATCH NEW YEAR ABALONE THIEVES

In a remote part of East Gippsland, four men from interstate have been apprehended with allegedly more than 1,000 blacklip abalone in one of the largest illegal hauls of the last decade.
Victorian Fisheries Authority Director of Education and Enforcement Ian Parks said the abalone, which are a prized seafood delicacy, are estimated to be worth around $17,000 on the black market.
“Fisheries Officers from Mallacoota were conducting a routine boat patrol off Wingan Inlet on Sunday when they observed four men allegedly removing abalone from their shells on the rocky shoreline,” he said.
“With help from local Victoria Police officers, the men - from New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory - were intercepted less than two hours later on the Wingan Road in two cars and allegedly found in possession of a commercial quantity of abalone.”
Fisheries Officers allegedly located 241 whole and shucked (removed from their shell) abalone on the Wingan Inlet rocks, where the men were first observed in the afternoon.
A further 109 whole and shucked abalone were allegedly located in one of the vehicles, whilst another 669 abalone meats were discovered in the second car.
The total haul of 1019 abalone, some of which were allegedly undersize, weighed nearly 210kg and were seized on the spot. Most could not be released alive because their shell had been removed.
Mr Parks said the four men will face several charges including taking, possessing and trafficking a commercial quantity of abalone.
“We’re serious about protecting Victoria’s valuable wild abalone stocks so they can be managed sustainably for future generations to enjoy,” he said.
“We encourage any member of the public who sees or suspects illegal fishing to call our 13FISH (133474) line to speak directly to a Fisheries Officer. Callers can remain anonymous. Make the call and make the difference.”

This is why I stopped publishing FM magazine. Last year was a 26.1% increase. This year, it will be another 26.3% increase. Thank God I'm not paying those bills.

We had to use Priority Post so that the magazine got delivered in the month that was on the cover.

Basic postage will go up to $1.70. Remember only recently it was $1 to post a letter?

I actually did a submission to ACCC that outlined that this year's price increase would send me over the edge by the end of the year.

I feel sorry for the remaining publishers that are being sent out of business by our national carrier that pays seven-figure bonuses to their executives.

FUAP.
