Some more information regarding catching flathead 🤔

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝟰𝟬𝗰𝗺 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁?
If you catch a 40cm+ sand flathead anywhere other than King and Flinders Island this summer, you must release it. But why?

Big fish make a big difference. They contribute more to biomass, and they make more eggs that are larger and higher quality.

Our sand flathead fishery is missing most of these big fish and it’s a big problem.
▶ In the south-east, the latest stock assessment found only 1% of sand flathead were larger than 35 cm.
▶ In Flinders Island, an area with healthy sand flathead stocks, 29% of fish were larger than 35cm.

If we want sand flathead to recover, we need more big fish. The maximum size limit helps protect our few remaining big fish and protects new fish as they grow bigger.

So, if you land a big one, put it back gently – it’s working hard to rebuild our fishery for the future.

Depending on where you’re fishing, between 79%-100% of sand flathead are smaller than 35cm. In the southeast, only 1% are estimated to be legal-sized.

So, if you catch a little flatty (or a rare over 40cm catch), it’s important to get it back in the water as soon as possible.

Here’s how you can set it free with a fighting chance:
✅𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 to reduce the risk gut and gill hooking.
✅𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗲-𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 to release fish qu**ky and with minimal handling.
✅𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁 to hold fish while de-hooking if needed
✅𝗖𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝘂𝘁-𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵 (leaving the hook in) to give these fish the best chance of survival.
✅𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 like cormorants to reduce the risk of fish getting eaten when you release them.

Sand flathead have very high survival rates when they’re released using good handling practices. Let’s all take care of this important fishery.
