INTERTIDAL COLLECTION METHODS

You may not use shovels, scoops, forks, rakes or any other digging implement in any Victorian intertidal zone. You may use a fishing line, speargun or hand held spear to catch fish, squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Where collection in intertidal habitats is permitted, the following methods are allowed:

  • an approved hand held bait pump where the barrel does not exceed 8.5cm in diameter. A sieve may be used only in conjunction with the pump;
  • by hand or feet;
  • use of a hand held spear or speargun, recreational hoop nets, bait traps or recreational bait nets, (specified waters apply);
  • use of up to 4 lines whether attached to rods or not, with no more than 2 hooks per line. A squid jig is considered as one hook.
