clarity required regarding bag and boat limits

 Hello everyone,

This might be a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway. I am confused about whether I can catch my bag limit of demersals and then also target pelagics. I can't find anywhere in the guides that speaks in plain English. Is this a common complaint and question?

 It's simple , you will have a boat limit for certain fish IE Dhubangers and then a bag limit for your demersals.

There's nothing then stopping you from catching a pelagic bag limit before or after that, different category. Statewide bag limit of 3 pelagic fish per person. 

So in theory you are allowed to catch 2 Demersals and 3 pelagics per person in the west coast bioregion. 

You can also catch a bag of whiting if you had the time.

Exactly as above. If you manage to get a few kg while out they are separate to sand whiting so your numbers of fish can increase .
