Submitted by Trimee on Thu, 2018-01-25 14:29
Hey All
is someone able to help me out, i am getting extremlty confused on the fisheries web site about boat limit's they dont say much
so say i am out fishing with 2 licences i can take home the boat limit.
what is the boat limit for demersals?
i know you can only take a max of 2 dhu fish but it doesnt say much about the others
THanks

Dhus are the only ones that
Dhus are the only ones that have a boat limit. 3 people on board can have 6 fish which includes 2 dhuies. 4 people can have 8 fish including 2 dhuies and so on. If no dhuies on board it is 2 demersal fish per licenced fisher on board

Yep
.. not sure why half my message disappeared before?
Each licence ends up landing 2 fish each though.
Its super rare when one person's licence lands 3 fish and has to throw it back even though another licence on board has only 1 fish. Am I right?

Technically
Technically you are correct, but it would be up to fisheries to prove who caught the fish.
There is a proposal being pushed now to allow the sharing of a catch between licensed fishers , this makes a lot of sense especially with other bag limits besides demersals. ie a couple fishers catching Herring and Gardies placing them into one esky would not have to prove how many of each was caught by the individual anglers .

Sorry this may seem like a stupid question but.
Say we have 2 licenced fishers on board we have baged out on demersel. Decided to fish for palagics they are 4 per person or 3 so then we could have 4 bottom fish and 8 top fish?
