queensland Good news NPD to become part of SIP.

[rayke1938]

Browsing through the new recreational fishing regs and found this.

Effective 2 April 2009

Stocked Impoundment Permit scheme

* Three new dams will be part of the Stocked Impoundment Permit scheme-Fairbairn Dam (near Emerald), Theresa Creek Dam (near Clermont) and North Pine Dam (on Brisbane´s north side).

Cheers

So does this mean kayaks and elec motors allowed Ray?

[Rocket75]

that's great news, I wonder how they are going to enforce it?

[Terry H]

fisheries walking around the edge of the dam asking for SIPs ?

[rayke1938]

Nothing to do with boating access scheme. Just means that everyone who is over 18 years old will have to have a SIP.

Two of the rangers are already accredited fishing inspectors with all their powers.

Next step will be Kurwongbah as I reckon all the meat fishos will move there.

Cheers

i hope so..would save a lot of fish i reckon from the people taking way more than the bag limit..would love to see that dam get patrolled..dreaming thou i reckon:blink:

[Cowfish13]

Can I ask what will this actually change?

Is it basicaly just you need a permit for 18+yrs? Or will other rules and regs come into place?

Thanks

if the dont enforce it..nothing will change except us "honest":dry: fishos will be paying to fish there:P

in the end, i just hope the fish are gunna be the winners

[Cowfish13]

Bugger!.. was hoping it'd do a bit more than that:( Oh well, hopefully it'll atleast make people think twice about going and taking more than the limits.

But doesn't seem all that likely if there are no rangers or similar patroling

[Tim a]

Wouldn't the money we pay go into stocking new fingerlings aswell?

[James W]

yer i suppose..thats a good thing...i have no problem at all paying for a permit to fish there:)

they could do it

I mean for example look at the security on the Port of Brisbane.

2 guys in a boat could hammer the area all day every day.

Is it what people want?

cheers

[Burko]

short answer YES!!!

it would be fantastic to see fisheries guys (and hot gals) checking on everyone everywhere all the time.

If you do nothing wrong and everything by the book what problem would it be. (bit like speed cameras really )

[Feral]

It gets monitored heavily now, so that wont change (dont believe me?, put a canoe or yak in the water and see how long it is before you get a visit!)

Plenty of rangers there, now they will just check permits as well.

[Dazzamcgee]

Thumbs up!!

Often wondered why NP wasn't apart of the SIP program??

It fishes just as good as any of the other stocked dams so its well deserved!

It's about time.

A dam so close to the city could have wonderful potential if the funds were spent wisely.

Look at places like Awoonga, they've obviously spent some seriouis coin there to make a fantastic place to take the family for the day.

They could use a little bit of the money to mow a few of my trails out there, I'm getting to old and tired to climb through that jungle.

but if it's mowed, everyone will take your trail and it won't be your anymore, think of that?

Back pack...contents

Harb bodied lures...one large tray

Metal lures....one small tray

Plastics......one small tray

jig heads....one small tray

Spinnerbaits...one small tray

First aid kit

Pliers

Forceps

Leatherman tool

braid scissors

Leader material

I usually use a small party of tribesman and a donkey to carry my gear...one puts my backpack on top of his head while the rest carry general supplies. I'm in front wearing a safari suit weilding a machete.

I'll be hitting North Pine Dam pretty hard during the next three weeks.

I'll PM you my phone number... if you want to give me a call after Christams, we'll see if we can't get you onto some bass. But be prepared to stand in the water and don't scream if a lungfish rubs up against your leg.

[cpetrie]
