Why is it banned? Is it because of the volume of boats?

100% not allowed. I believe
100% not allowed. I believe the reason is they want to protect the ecosystem, and its "dangerous" there are more people about in the river who could get hurt. I kind of agree but maybe just have no go zones?
Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.

The sand banks at Rocky Point
The sand banks at Rocky Point are full of plump whiting and there's heaps of nice drop offs around there that hold some big flatties too. Would be nice to float around a pick a few off but I suppose if they allowed that then there would be none left after a month as it'd get raped.

Why would you need to email
Why would you need to email fisheries? Just read the rules, which are avaiable online and at nearly every tackleshop.

The rules don't say why, just
The rules don't say why, just that you can't. I wanna know why you can go diving for crabs and prawns but can't spear a whiting or flathead.

why why
Spearfishing is too effective. The river is like a big breeding ground and plays an important part of ecosystem.

Yeah but so is swimming
Yeah but so is swimming around with a dive tank and a welding glove picking up crabs. I can't see the difference between the two
