You have to have stayed on a
You have to have stayed on a island! Rotto, Carnac, islands off carnarvon ect.. If your in a smaller boat with no swags might be a give away! Iv heard of guys have fish taken off them coming back from the abrolhos cause your not aloud to camp on the islands so tecnicly your not entitled to 2 days bag limits. Depends where you launch from to! Could be a bit hard saying you stayed over night if your parking tickets for 5-6 that morning
Any one free to help me pull my drum lines tomorrow?

Islands of Carnarvon
You can camp on Dirk Hartog but not on the other 3, Koks, Bernier or Dorre, You may go ashore but camping on the islands is a big no no

The bag limit runs from 12 to 12 so yeah for over nighters double bag limits apply. I'm not sure about down south thow Don't you guys have a "boat limit"? This might affect it

thanks for the feedback
thanks for the feedback fellas, what if i have a bed on board? we anchor out 20miles off mindarie and sleep on board. surely if i had a car ticket from the day before this shouldnt be an issue, but then again places like jurien dont have ticket machines

not up here, bag limits
not up here, bag limits apply then and there, only place you are allowed to have more fish in your possesion is at home in your freezer. Say I go out for a overnighter for 2 days and catch 10 barra daily limit is 5 ( depending which river you caught them) and I get pulled over I will loose my car/boat/and whatever else is associated with the catch.

Actually i'll think you'll
Actually i'll think you'll find possession limits are constant statewide mate (apart from the Abrolhos islands). Possession limit is 2 days bag limit of whole fish or 20kg of fillets, or 10kg of fillets and one days bag of whole fishes. Barramundi are a special exception... their possession limit is one days bag only.
Im assuming your somewhere in northen WA, since this is mostly a WA website and we're talking about wa bag limits. Bag limit for barra in WA is 2 per person now btw... and posession limit is 2.
