Batemans Bay Fishing works in conjunction with New South Wales fisheries to enforce bag limits and size limits, ensuring the sustainability of the sport and future fishing opportunities. All kept fish are measured and logged, with the data sent to New South Wales Fisheries for research and field management plans.
Fishing licences are required in New South Wales, but guests fishing with Batemans Bay Fishing on the M. Jean Marie do not need to purchase a licence as it is included in the fishing trip. Licence costs vary depending on the duration, and certain groups, such as children under 18 years and Commonwealth pension cardholders, are exempted from needing a licence.
Unlike some fishing charter boats, the Jean Marie does not claim ownership of all fish caught. Guests have the freedom to decide what they want to do with their catch as long as the fish is of legal size, and they haven't reached the bag limit. They can keep the fish, give them away, or release them back into the water for another day of fighting.
To ensure the freshness of kept fish, Batemans Bay Fishing immediately puts them on ice, ensuring they stay as fresh as possible throughout the trip. It's all about providing the best quality and experience for guests.
