Letter to Clubs - Est. weight of fish
NSWGFA Secretary Pat Jones Message
Good Morning Everyone,
On Wednesday we received advice that there would be no compliance with respect to the tagging & releasing of Mako Sharks in general i.e. we can T&R Mako Sharks.
NSWGFA wrote to the Minister (letter attached) asking for an exemption on the taking of Mako Sharks on the basis of the science programs that we undertake at our tournaments during the year. In our request we listed all tournaments that are scheduled to take place in February & March it is hoped that during this period the amendment that is required to "lift the ban" on Makos will have been passed in Parliament, if not we will reapply for an extension which we do not see as a problem for any subsequent tournaments.
Whilst we did ask for club competitions it should be stressed that the exemption that we have been given for the CAPTURE of Mako's is for the scheduled tournaments only at this stage.
Correspondence from Minister Garrett's office is attached.
If you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me, I am available on 0417 770 900.
Kind regards
Pat Jones
NSWGFA Secretary

Hi Guys attached is the Southern Zone calander for this year 1st June 09 -30 May 2010 click here..., obviously this is for our Southern Zone point Score system. However for those who dont know, our club runs an Others Waters Catergorie also which is for all other times. Our points count 365 days and 24-7 per year. So if anyone tags or Captures a game fish anywhere anytime get your Tags or Certificates in to me to count, obviously this is still run to GFAA rules and any Captured fish will need to be signed by the appropriate Weighmaster to count, but Tags only need to be witnessed by an other member. Any Queries u may have please Email offtap1@msn.com or Call. See u all at Presentation on the 15th Aug.
