Why will you be a good representative on the MRFAC? I am a keen lure fisherman for bream and yellowfin whiting, with experience in chasing mulloway and boat fishing for snapper, whiting and tuna plus cod and callop on lures in the Murray River and dams. Hopefully I can help ensure that the government recognizes the value of the recreational fishing sector and acts to improve the fish stocks, ensures that fishing is sustainable and maintains an equitable balance between commercial and recreational fishing to the benefit of the community.
