Exmouth closures??

 Mate and I were planning a trip to exmouth later this year and he has just msgd me saying that he's been told by a charter company that there is a fishing closure on from mid October-mid December in exmouth. Does anyone know if there is truth to this?

 If you go to the Fisheries website it notes all seasonal closures. Without jumping on the site myself I know there are bans in that time for Demersal fishing for metro, not sure if it extends north but.

Its not really just metro, its the whole west coast region.

Fisheries have considered implementing the same ban in other regions and perhaps the charter has advance knowledge of this?
