what are the legalities????
 

Situation:
Frankston Peir evening there is always a 4" or so stingray or two circling
around then end. Not many flatties are on the bite. only a few gar and
anything else is slim pickings....

If someone was to land the stingray is it a catch and release situation or
can it be removed...?

Over the past few nights I have seen a few around that area... I feel a good
20 - 30 mtr length of trace wire with a couple of pilchards sould be able to
secure the "beast" for landing of ties directly to the peir

I'd be very interested to see a four inch ray take a whole pilchard.

It would be a bit sad to 'take' a four foot ray in my opinion. Let the poor
thing be and go find Flathead somewhere else.

I wouldn't really be bothered over a 4 inch stinger....

Wait until its blowing a gale and fish for salmon off the Frankston pier.
Occasionally there are lots caught off the left side when its windy.
