An Introduction to Fishing in Australia
Australia is the “Island Continent” and has a marvellous fishing scene. The country has literally hundreds of recreational fish species, which makes for a great fishing expedition. However, if you want to go fishing in Australia you must observe the rules of each individual state.
Each state in the country has guidelines you must take seriously. These include types of fish you can catch, what size you can catch, how many, and what times are appropriate for fishing. It would serve you well to pick up a fishing guide to Australia, as these resources can explain more about fish habits, what they eat and where you can catch them.
Overall, the fisheries in Australia gross over 2.3 billion AUD$. The aquaculture industry is also rising. The primary export besides fish are lobsters, tuna, abalone and prawns. Lakes in the area consist of coastal lakes, freshwater inland lakes, swamps and wetlands. There are also glacial lakes in the Main Range area.
So then, if you are looking for “yabby,” then start by reading up on the local fisheries and fishing lakes in the city of your choice. Fishing in Australia is a very lively scene and there is always something happening under the sea.
