I think legal size should be upped in vic and bag limits looked at also. More people fishing, more fish caught, less fish in the water.
Quick maths.
Yea mate I agree. A lot of the places I used to fish 5+ years ago now don’t produce half as much as I used to catch.

I wouldn't be opposed to that. I don't even bother with flathead unless they are a good 4 or 5cm over their size limit. Can't remember the last time I 'bagged out' or even came close to it either. It's pretty much greed at that point but each to their own.
I could of bagged out on Salmon on the weekend but thought i had enough and went home. Some limits seem over the top to me.

There isn't enough data and info at the moment of the plan. Perhaps those fish will stay in Vic, grow in numbers and even after 3 years they may not to back to SA. Who knows...
Or potentially, the ones still in SA will grow and breed (what they're hoping I think). Before no snapper left in SA.
3 years is probably a small price to pay for years of sustainable fishing.

Quick maths.
The key to the success of snapper numbers is successful recruitment ie good spawning.
This x1,000,000. Do people forget what happened here during the 90s? And then what happened early to mid 2000s? Let's see, you ban a stupidly destructive practice and start cleaning up inflows. Allowing what little biomass remaining to spawn successfully and let the larvae settle almost undisturbed with some protection as they grow rinse and repeat for a few more years as more and more numbers spawn increasing the recruitment three fold and bam! Victoria's Snapper fishery hasn't really looked back give or take for recruitment variances.

Which is why the shellfish bed restoration projects along with other habitat rebuilding and creation projects will do a hell of a lot more for Snapper fishing in this state than just about every single thing ever mentioned or done in the past 20 years

Same with Whiting and to a lesser extent Kingfish

Management practices have resulted in a resurgent SBT fishery also

I think most SA fishers look at Vic Fisheries management with considerable envy.

Sorry for going off topic the management of the SBT fishery is a national effort I believe
