Legal Requirements
Know what local rules apply
Always nd out which specic local regulaons, including size and bagging
limits apply when you plan your shing expedion. Longline shing is
restricted or even prohibited in some locaons. Fishing limits also vary
dependant on the locaon. Do not break these regulaons as penales will
apply, including the loss of your Fish Seeker equipment.

NZ 0800 00 83 33.
For regions in Australia, please contact your local shing regulatory authority
to nd out your local rules and regulaons
Idenfy your equipment
Ensure your name and phone number is noted on your Fish Seeker unit in the
space provided at the back of the hull with permanent marker. It is a sheries
requirement that the sher is idened with their name ,(inials and surname)
on the oat (the Fish Seeker unit) which is aached to your longline. It is also a
recommendaon that a phone number is included.
Labelling your Fish Seeker and equipment is a safeguard in the event of loss
at sea, or if you leave something on the beach. We recommend naming all
components such as the baeries and both secons of the hull. If you can, we
suggest geng these details engraved, as permanent marker will wear o over

Your insurance company may also cover the Fish Seeker as a recreaonal item
against loss. We recommend you check the extent of cover with your insurer.
