New Management Arrangements for Redfish (Nannygai) in NSW.

The NSW Government has finalised the Redfish Rebuilding Program to support broader Commonwealth efforts to rebuild depleted redfish stocks.

From 7 October 2026, new rules will apply to redfish fishing in NSW, including:

✅ 25cm minimum size limit

✅ One fish recreational and charter bag limit

✅ Reduced commercial fishing possession limits

The new measures align with actions already implemented in Commonwealth-managed fisheries and support the Australian Government's current assessment of redfish under national environmental legislation.

The program has been informed by an external assessment, catch data and public consultation, and aims to support a healthier and more sustainable redfish stock over time.

Well gang, after being granted express permission from the CEO to go fishing today, the plan was to see if I could catch a pearl perch or two. The plan was a dismal failure 😞. I tried all my top secret marks with no success. The sounder revealed there ‘may’ have been some ‘Pearlie’s’ at a couple of my marks but I couldn’t get to them as snapper were pouncing on all my offerings. Those offerings consisted of white glow and red belly shrimp Berkley 5.5 inch grubs which I’ve found Pearlie’s and snapper find irresistible. Without giving away too many secrets, I fished in 50 metres of water with no luck. On moving out to 60 metres plus, it was a different story with plenty of eager snapper on offer. It’s worth noting too that water temperature was just below 18 degrees. If you are contemplating a trip outside, your best option would be to fish in deeper water. I fished off Plomer today but I am confident that snapper can be found up and down the coast at the moment. We have a southerly change due tomorrow morning which will prevent a trip outside for a day or two but once things settle down, head out and land a fish or two.

Tight lines everyone 🎣
