When do I receive prize money if I catch a winning fish?
What if I catch Bundaberg Toyota Golden Barra tagged barramundi outside the competition dates?
How do I release a fish to ensure it has the best chance of survival?
- Minimise handling time out of the water (leave the fish in the water in the landing net until you are ready for a photo or in a holding tank with water from Lake Monduran).
- When holding a fish support its weight horizontally with both hands (don’t hold a fish vertically by its mouth or gills)
- Don’t lay a fish on a hot surface or allow it to thrash around on a boat’s deck.
- If possible release fish into cover along the bank or in snags to provide protection while they recover.
More tips for catching and releasing fish:
- Minimise capture time; use only tackle that is appropriate for the size and species of fish being targeted.
- Use fish-friendly knotless landing nets to minimise injuries such as skin abrasions, fin damage and protective slime loss.
- When bait fishing, use large non-offset circle hooks (minimum 5/0) to reduce the capture of smaller fish and deeply hooked fish
- When a fish is deeply hooked cut the line close to the mouth and leave the hook in place.
- The use of barbless hooks helps when releasing fish and reduces the damage caused.
