Plenty of snapper/Lifejackets

Hi All
Was I the only one that didn't realise the new lifejacket rule has startred. We were out the other day and fisheries stopped us to check our catch and told us it had started.
Plenty of big pinks around though.
Choc.

What do you mean?
do we have to wear lifejackets at all times now?

Only for boats under 4.8m, because apparently if you are in a 4.9 you are much safer. They have also done away with having to have anchor, bilge, bailer or fire extinguisher.

Thanks Livewire, that one
Thanks Livewire, that one went into the 90's. Also one of my favourite fish to catch, got our bag off one school in short time after a quiet start to the morning.

Big snap
Great catch and thanks for the heads up on the jackets. Have also been quickly getting my bag of pinkies over multiple trips during the holidays. Good fishing, drifting in 10m depths and fish sizes 65-85cm. Back to tailor and herring now though.
