SHADY
Can any one tell me the water levels at the shady barrage at the moment.
Is it worth fishing there or give it a miss
Thanks

Worth a crack on usually high tides over 5.4....then fish till the rocks come out.
take yr spiked reef boots if you want to cross it it's pumping over be careful with the crocs when you've landed one and it's flapping around.

Re: SHADY
Yes we did keep all 3 barra. 3 blokes 1 fish each not unreasonable in my book . Rules state for Mary river management zone 90cm maximum size limit 1 fish OVER 90cm per boat 3 fish per person possession limit. Our fish were not over 90cm so we are within the rules. Could of kept 9 with 3 blokes on board if we wanted but didn't. I understand possession and size limits are made to sustain the stocks. It is each individuals decision wether to keep fish or not as long as they are within the rules. We all have different opinions thats what makes us individuals and why our society is great. I should not have to justify myself as i have if people new the rules and kept there personal opinions to themselves. This is fishing site . I shared my experiences of that day to let others know how the fishing was not to have to explain myself. From now on i won't be sharing any info other than to enter the comp . Thanks

Re: SHADY
You won't be the 1st to have been hunted off this site by the pedantic bureaucratic keyboard Nazis Bob - don't let em get to ya and stick on
I personally find the text of the reg very contradictory :-
90cm maximum overall length, three per person possession limit and vessel limit of 1 fish over 90cm overall length
Appears to me to be saying No fish over 90cm then goes on to say but CAN take x1 over 90cm per boat

Re: SHADY
Was not meant as a shot Bob - had not long ago had a look at the limits (not that I have ever caught anything anywhere near that size, so awesome job), and I also found the regs to be ambiguous somewhat - was just providing for reference

Re: SHADY
I think there's a big difference between those banging on about their personal preference and those out lining that you may have inadvertently broken a bag limit.
They have to draw a line some where on the ruler. And it's 900mm. so 899 mm fine, 900 not fine. I would want to be extreamly confident of my measurements before risking my boat and gear on a mm. Reckon if you said you got a few 89.99 then you wouldn't have had the negative comments, I can't comment of if I would be necking them that big, as I have never been there haha. I fished tommy on the same day, for bugger all. Had a mate at swim for 1. Did better than I did.

Re: SHADY
Slug is correct in saying that the rules are terribly written. And just to clarify, I'm not trying to hunt anyone off the site. I asked the question because with my interpretation of the rules I believed he might have accidentally broken the rules.
Bob, it looks like a great days fishing. I hope my next trips are that good. I'm jealous as. However, your interpretation of that rule differs from Fisheries. I asked them the question on FB because you make a good point and got this response....
A personal possesion limit of 3 barrumundi under 90cm & A Vessel limit of 1 barrumundi over 90cm overall length.
90 cm is your max 1 for vessel limit
