I think we'll be alright if we're allowed to fish and apply common sense.
If you've got a boat great, but if you're landbased like myself hitting the less popular beaches of PPB and rock walls look to be the way to go.

There’s nothing else to do but have a stab at it. If this lockdown works then we should get back to stage 3 by then which means we can fish.

5 weeks is the middle of September plus another 3 or 4 weeks after that we should be good to go. This lockdown even though it appears to be half arsed should work well and get the numbers to a manageable amount which would mean going back to stage 3 at a minimum. Stage 3 means fishing is allowed.

Middle of September is the perfect time to start targeting the reds. I’m really hoping we will be back down to stage 3 by then!!!
