IN BRIEF 2 Licensed anglers ignore laws NEWS FISHERIES Officers at Portland have seized 79 bream, one mulloway and 10 fishing rods as a result of alleged fishing offences at Nelson. Acting regional fisheries officer for Western Victoria Murray Burns said only three of the fish caught on the Glenelg River were the legal size of 28cm, with many less then 24cm. “The mulloway was only 35cm, well under the legally required size of 60cm,” Mr Burns said. “Ten anglers were interviewed and infringements notices totalling $5316 have been issued to the people.” Mr Burns said all the anglers targeted in the operation on January 21 were from Naracoorte in South Australia and were fishing as a group. “It is highly disappointing that a group of licensed anglers who should be aware of the legal sizes chose to ignore their legislative requirements,” he said. “The Glenelg River estuary is a very productive system and currently holds large numbers of both legal size and undersized bream, mulloway and estuary perch. “We rely on these legal fish sizes to sustain the healthy populations in the Glenelg River.” Anybody who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity is urged to call the 24-hour fisheries offence reporting line 13 FISH (133 474).

The event to be held on Tuesday at the cattle pavilion at the Mount Gambier Showground is a highlight in the Limestone Coast stud cattle calendar and includes both beef and dairy breeds. Ten different breeds of beef cattle, including Angus, Poll and Hereford, Limuousin, Lowline, Maine Anjou, Murray Grey, Santa Gertrudis, Shorthorn and Simmental will be on display from 15 studs. Topics during the day will range from nutrition through to finance. The gates will open at 8.30am and those travelling from far can talk to breeders over a cooked breakfast. Refreshments will be available and a sausage sizzle lunch will also be provided. There will also be a competition to “guess the weight of the bull” with the winner receiving a dinner for two donated by the Barn Palais. The winner will be drawn at the end of the day just before gates close at 5.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend to meet the breeders and select the best stud animals to complement existing herds.
