Title: SIPS Allocations
Post by: elops on May 13, 2012, 07:16:37 PM

Received the SIPS allocation for  2012/13 stocking a fair bit less than last year. How did every else go ?

I haven't seen the break down as yet Steve.

If anyone has it, please post the info up.

Have not seen the breakdown Fitz, only the amount for Lake Samsonvale (North Pine Dam)
$11 776 for 2012/2013 last year was $13 457

I recon with floods and general poor fishing in many lakes afterwards, the participation rates were possibly down both on the those lakes affected by the floods (eg Lake Samsonvale) as well as across the state. That would affect both the overall income of the SIP (and the surface area component) and the angler preferances.

Agree Fitzy...Monduran is fairly quiet these days with only a few boats (3 - 10) on the water on any given day that I was there over the spring, summer and autumn period.

Less anglers means less SIPs means less funds means less money for restocking...

We need a raft of positive reports from places like Mondy to get things moving again.  Mind you, I do like the solitude and the peace and quiet on the water up there ATM... :)
