Howdy and merry xmas to everyone
I have a question about the snapper ban. i am going to take my dad fishing tomoz, am just wondering can we keep a snapper IF we catch one on the 5 fathom behind covo reef or is this still a no catch zone because its in warnbro sound. any info would be great as he is coming up from northam today. i dont want to do the wrong thing. we have a 4.5m ally runabout so i dont go much further out than that, but would like to catch him a feed.
cheers
dakka

If you launch in the no fishing area, and fish outside the zone, you may take fish, however i would strongly advise against stopping for a fish inside the zone on the way back in if you've got pinkies on board.
