Dear Members,
Below is a picture of a rig recovered from one of the floating islands at Shepherds Way. This rig is not acceptable at this fishery as it is a fixed rig and was being fished with strong braid.
Please can all members familiarise themselves with the rules for this fishery? Anyone found to be breaking the rules may have their membership revoked.
