Most rec fishers do the right thing and abide by catch limits that keep our booming whiting, snapper and calamari fisheries sustainable.

Recently, however, our Fisheries Officers apprehended three men and seized their boat for allegedly taking more than the daily bag limit of King George whiting.

The trio were observed retrieving their boat at St Leonards after catching a number of whiting, travelling to a nearby house and then relaunching to continue fishing in the same area.

They were intercepted at the house by Fisheries Officers a short time later where they presented whiting for inspection. After questioning, more fish were produced from the house and confirmed as catch from that day.

All up, the men had allegedly taken 68 King George whiting over two trips in the same day with one man alleged to have caught 38, nearly double the daily bag limit of 20. Their fish, fishing gear and boat were seized on the spot.

But the story didn’t end there. The incident led Fisheries Officers to a restaurant in Carlton where it’s alleged 25 kilograms of illegitimate King George whiting and 58kg of calamari were uncovered.

The seafood could not be substantiated as commercially-sourced, so it was seized. It will also be alleged a document to account for the seafood was falsely created by a wholesaler, at the request of the restaurant.

The proprietor and company associated with the restaurant will face charges relating to selling recreationally caught fish, providing false documents and other significant offences under the Fisheries Act. A seafood wholesaler will also face charges relating to the creation of a false document.

Remember if you see or suspect illegal fishing, call our 24/7 reporting service, 13FISH (133474), to speak directly to a Fisheries Officer. You can remain anonymous. Make the call and make the difference.
