Thats no, you need to get them yourself.

Pretty good chance you would get yourself and your mate smoked if you turned up at the boat ramp dry, no pots and a cray too.

Big no no ,but there are plenty that do it ,the question is do you do the right thing or not and if you and your mate have a licence then you sould now the answer to this question,all's good if you don't get caught ,but the fine out do the coulpe of cray for dinner one would think a mate would give you some of his crays if he bagged out . there is allways someone looking to bend the rules shit when will people get the message ,i think never.

i know where your coming from piston ... a few years ago while salmon fishing at bunkers bay a bigger boat pulled up next to my dads tinnie and gave him a snapper as they was over thier limit .. with the fish i suppose its harder as its dead . where a cray is still alive and can be returned . all i know is that the pinky tasted pretty good.

Better the snapper eaten than sinkin to the bottom,for sure .

But if their over the limit there upgrading. So there doing the wrong thing anyway. and they know it.

I always say if your not sure DONT take it  and find out for next time.

i think you already knew the answer  at least now you do know for next time. If your mate comes over after the day and shares some of HIS bag limit then you know he is a real mate and you wont get in troubl. 

but it's not right.

You have your boat limit of crays and put your excess crays back in the pot and return it over the side. Is that ok?

If you pull them out you're meant to release excess catch, but what about if you leave them in the pots in the first place? My guess is they'll escape before you go back.

Then its classed as a holding potall pots have to be emptied and reset ,yes most of the crays would get out ,this was happening whith the pros on the gauge change they put all the 76mm crays back in the pot for the next day ,
