Calamari catch sees boat forfeited 28 January 2021
A HILLSIDE man who took 23 calamari off Queenscliff and broke water safety regulations has been convicted, prohibited from fishing for six months, fined $1,200 and had his boat and fishing equipment forfeited.
Victorian Fisheries Authority director of education and enforcement Ian Parks said the man pleaded guilty in the Geelong Magistrate’s Court to taking more than the catch limit for calamari, speeding past another vessel and not wearing an approved life jacket when required.
“The man took a total of 23 calamari, two of which were returned to the water dead when a larger calamari was caught. This activity is known as ‘high grading’ and is not allowed,” Parks said.
