Mullet trap

[tackle whore]

Cut the neck off depending on the size of the bait you want you can increase the neck size , for swimming prawns I don't cut the kneck . Black dots are were you punch the holes I use a heated screwdriver esp for the holes at top were the cable ties go - melt the holes they don't tear tie a line to one cable tie throw in water with bread/sardine /cat food leave the first mullet in trap , seems the flash attracts more to enter the trap .
Don't chum with dry bread you want the bread to sink around the bottle if you need to chum. floating chum keeps the mullet on the surface you want them on the bottom add a sinker if you need loose in the bottle .For biggest mullet- upto 25cm only one at a time as he cant turn around and fills the neck .

Fact remains that a mullet is still a fish.

 

Section 23(d) of the Marine Living Resources Act Regulations; No person shall, except on the authority of a permit engage in fishing, collecting or disturbing any kingklip by means of a trap; engage in the fishing, collection or disturbing of any fish by means of a spear; engage in fishing, collecting or disturbing of any fish by means of a fish trap[/b]”[/b][/i]

I think someone should go tell the locals at Kozi Bay about this regulation.....................

Oh I forgot regulations don't apply to the previously disadvantaged stpime2stpime2stpime2

completely unnecessary comment...do you really believe that?

I've been subject to the exact opposite, when i was asked for a permit, and a white guy-who did not have a permit-and was just assumed to have one was not checked...so again an unnecessary comment

Stop hijacking peoples threads if you got a problem that's not related to catching mullet PM each other over it.

My Apologies to anyone I may have offended I did not mean to.

All I wanted to point out is that Fish Trapping does take place with no action against those who do.

I feel that one must draw a line in the sand and say the regulation either applies to all or applies to none.

 

[SPASTIkmonki]

cool, i apologize then for the misunderstanding, i think we can all agree that some more enforcement of all regulations will be welcome.

Hi

Tackle Whore Thanks for the pics Just a question where does one get the swimming prawns in the breede?
And I take it on your trap you need it on the bottom for the prawns?
Plus bait will sardines and bread mix work for them or is that where the cat food comes in?

Later

 

[tackle whore]

only ever get them in the reeds you need to add a sinker in the trap and tie it to the reeds on the ground cat food works best for prawns. Fillet of sardine will also work its just easier with cat food in a tin no freezing etc of bait . TimJan wrote:
