Submitted by Paul N on Thu, 2025-04-10 14:19
Heading to Exmouth in a few weeks and trying to find out how many drooper lines i can have on a patanosta rig in that region . I know you can only have one in the metro area but is it different for Exmouth . Cant find any info on fisheries website and i did ring a tackle store in Exmouth and they think you can have 2 up there , bit strange that they didnt know for sure . Thanks for any info

Straight outta fisheries
Straight outta fisheries guidlines:
Fishing rigs – you can only use a maximum of 1 bait or lure on each line in the West Coast bioregion when fishing for demersal scalefish, 3 baits or lures on each line in all other areas and for other categories of fish

Welcome mate, Made me
Welcome mate, Made me recheck as heading north in two weeks. Make sure all's in order gear and tackle wise. Hoping that cyclone doesn't cause too much grief.

Droppers
I only use one dropper these days as I don't want to make it easier for the sharks. The bastards do enough damage as it is!
