Fisheries regulations
Submitted by Grunter on Wed, 2011-09-14 19:09
Hi People I hope somebody out there can help with this question?We contacted fisheries today(and are still awaiting a return call) regarding how many hooks you are allowed in a gang.I am aware that you are allowed 3 hooks or gangs of hooks per line but what is the maximum number of hooks in a gang that you are allowed ? Cheers Tim

The short answer is...
That the law does not specify a maximum number of hooks per gang...
64E. Lines etc. used for recreational fishing, limit on number of
(1) Unless otherwise specified in the Act or these regulations and subject to subregulation (2), a person must not use more than 2 rods, reels and lines or single lines held in the hand at any one time when fishing.
(2) Subregulation (1) does not apply to —
(a) the holder of a commercial fishing licence; or
(b) a person fishing from a boat.
(3) A person, other than the holder of a commercial fishing licence, when fishing WA waters may not use a line with more than 3 hooks or gangs of hooks attached.
Penalty: $2 000.
[Regulation 64E inserted in Gazette 1 Oct 2003 p. 4305‑6.]
