Small catch a great result WHEN it comes to fishing, bigger is usually better, but that wasn’t the case during a diving tour conducted by the Newcastle Neptunes through a Go Fishing Day grant from the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Part of the day’s activities involved local kids buddying up with experienced divers to collect refuse along the Breakwall. “The day was all about safety and sustainability,” event organiser Greg Finn told News Of The Area. “One of our aims was to clean up an area
