Clarification - Boat Limits?
hey guys,
As the forums suggest today was an awesome day outwide today, however something weird happy today, we actually caught quite a bit including a 6kg pinkie on light gear, was awesome (was trying to breakin my new toy Morethan brazino)
anyway, just before lunch opening up our kill tank we realised we had caught quite a bit inlcuding snapper, dhuies, baldchin, black ass and skippy, it got us thinking if we were over the limit.
If we went by numbers of each fish per person we were way under, but we were quite unsure if there is an actual boat limit.
I had a quick search on the fisheries website but didnt find anything except for the amount of fillets or something??
we actually left around lunch time with the fish still biting just incase we were over the limit haha.
can someone clarify?

yeah i didnt see the 7 mixed
yeah i didnt see the 7 mixed bag limit per person, i was just looking at the daily bag limit...oops..
well if that was the case we were well clear of that, we had around 2 cat 1 fish per angler (3)
and hordes of skippy.
i dont seem to be successful in releasing fish...they always die...so we rather stop fishing...

Releasing fish
Use a Release Weight. All the details in http://www.recfishwest.org.au/ReleaseWeight.htm and there's a free DVD coming soon about all this. Watch for the announcement.

releasing!
JoRn,as mentioned.....use a release weight and they'll survive but the biggest mistake i see is ppl "winding flatout" especially with smaller fish so they're decressing the fish's release capabilities!
