Illegal fishing activity along Yarra River
A recent call to 13FISH alerted Fisheries Officers to illegal fishing activity in the Wonga Park area of the Yarra River.
Fisheries Officers covertly watched a group of four anglers who were reported to be illegally fishing the Yarra River. When the anglers were intercepted they were allegedly found to be using illegal fishing equipment in the form of 24 set lines in addition to six fishing rods.
Fishers are reminded that the entitlement for recreational fishing for inland waters such as the Yarra is two rods or hand lines per person. Additionally they must be attended at all times.
Fishing equipment was also seized and each man will receive a number of infringement notices totalling more than $1,400. The men were also found to be fishing without fishing licences.
This is an excellent example of how the public can assist Fisheries Victoria by calling the fisheries offence reporting line 13FISH, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
