If I used a net like that here i could end up in jail, at least heavily fined. One night here recently some visitors were watched while netting by the fisheries officers. They were watched netting with no action taken. they loaded their boat on to the trailer and still no action taken but when they attached the trailer to the 4 wheel drive they had the vehicle, the boat and the catch confiscated. Turns out the boat was borrowed from a mate that is no longer a mate and the vehicle was still on HP.
