Use the correct TAG!
Sunday, 23 November 2008 22:02
At the recent GFAA conference we had a presentation from NSW Fisheries. As part of his presentation, reference was made to the incorrect use of tags in various species of fish & the lack of details provided on the tag card.
  
Billfish tags are for Bill Fish
Shark Tags are for Sharks
Tuna Tags are for other game Fish.
    
Please also note that all details on the card should be completed, that includes the GPS location where the fish was tagged. Port Phillip Bay, Kilcunda & Wilsons' Promontory are not acceptable locations given that most of us have a GPS on our boats these days.
