Nets and traps Use common sense when placing your set fishing gear. Do not set in areas of high boat traffic or navigation channels. To minimise the risk of entanglement by people or boats, any buoy rope used to mark set fishing gear must be as short as practical. Interference with set fishing gear is an offence. All set gear must be lifted within a 24 hour period, however anglers are encouraged to check their gear regularly to ensure any unwanted catch is returned safely to the water. Specific closures may prohibit the use of, or limit the number of nets and traps (see page 60 for a list of closed areas). Hoop net (Lift or Kulkyne) Mesh not less than 13mm stretch 13mm between knots 1m HN, J Smith 1963 2444 1.25m ■■ Maximum dimensions: Net attached with not more than 2 hoops, rings or frames attached to the net, but not attached to each other by any rigid frame.
