Quick law check

[ChrisTaylor]

If you go to Mornington Pier you can set up a mini BCF.

so if you can only have 4 rods in the water ('offshore'), can you still have a few extra rigged 'unused' rods in the boat with you?

I been pulled up for this at Jindabyne
So be careful

Are these laws somewhat recent? I've seen videos of Lee Rayner whiting fishing with like 10+ rods in the water.

i would imagine he would have extra people in the boat.
Its all about what is allowed per person. Realistically he should only be fishing 2 or 4 (depending on situation) as "he" is the one technically fishing, however once the camera is off, an extra person is fishing right away.

Yeah he obviously has others in the boat but there's footage of him using each rod.

I doubt that's legal?

he can attend to any of the rods as long as they are manned. the other guys on the boat just need a fishing licence.

Got checked by fisheries on the Murray back of Cohuna, classed as NSW water. two bait rods in water, two trawling rods with lures set up, another light yellow belly rod set up not in use, the guys were good checked my bait eskies, licence for boat and fishing licence safety gear ect. at the end they said each rigged rod not in use is classed as in use, fine $500 per rod, i stood up cut the lures and hooks off, thats what we wanted to see they said. i was lucky and now know. are vic rules the same ?
