HAVE you been enjoying the great run of mackerel of the NSW North Coast this year?
Although it’s getting late in the season, recent reports suggest that there are still plenty of mackerel around the NSW mid and far north coast.
The Research Angler Program in NSW is keen to collect your Spanish and spotted mackerel frames.
If you’re lucky enough to catch a legal Spaniard or spottie, please drop the frame (the entire frame or just the head with fish’s total length indicated) to one of our participating drop-off locations.
The fish don’t need to be trophy specimens as we are looking for all size classes. Data collected by this program will contribute toward ensuring continued quality recreational fishing opportunities for mackerel and other key species into the future.
Each frame donated earns an entry into our monthly lucky angler prize draws for a $50 fishing tackle gift voucher.
