Re: Quick law check
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?

Re: Quick law check
I read it as rods in use... all other rods rigged but not in use are fine left in the rack.
When I go pier fishing I usually bring 8 rods in my fishing trolley but only use 2 to 4 depending on the species I'm targeting.

He who has the most fishing rods WINS !

That is harsh mate as the dividing line is the imaginary line on the downstream side of the bridge.greggo wrote:I got fined years ago under the Westgate fishing for Jewies. I had two rods out while fishing for live bait with another. It is classed as an estuary, so only two rods allowed. Fair enough too, my bad, I should have known better.

Re: Quick law check
Conceivably you could fish the downstream section of the Yarra below the imaginary line at the bridge (designated as marine waters) with 4 rods and at the same time fish above that imaginary line (designated as inland waters) with 2 rods. This being a total of 6 rods. How is this viewed by authorities? I couldn't see anything in the rules to clarify this unlikely scenario apon brief inspection.

i would imagine he would have extra people in the boat.Kimtown wrote:
Are these laws somewhat recent? I've seen videos of Lee Rayner whiting fishing with like 10+ rods in the water.
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.

Re: Quick law check
I was about 200 metres upstream from the bridge, so well and truly inland water.frozenpod wrote:[quote="greggo"

Re: Quick law check
In Vic it’s lines in the water as stated. In nsw I think it is it’s rigged rods. From memory and don’t quote meyou could only have 2 rods rigged per person on the Murray for example. You could have other rods but couldn’t have lures attached.

Anyone know why there's a difference between inland and offshore?
