There's no where in the guide that it actually states the boat limit i.e 3 licenses 6 fish. Is there another boating guide or are you meant to somehow guess the rules? I'd just like to read it somewhere official.
There is no boat limit sea-kem, as you said 3 licenses = 6 fish and so on . they are part of the Nearshore/estuarine finfish. This is ware you have to be careful about the mixed bag rules. They fit in the 16 mixed bag group with 2 x Mulloway per fisher.
Eg : If you had caught 8 Tailor and 8 Snook then put 1 or 2 Mulloway in the esky( 1 x fisher ) you would breach the 16 mixed bag per fisher.
I;m going of the 2013 new guide . There are only boat limits if it says so. ie : Dhu fish = 2 per boat , Blue Swimmer Crabs = 20 p/boat, Squid/cuttlefish/octopus. = combined limit of 30 p/boat. etc , there are a few more species of fish/shelfish with boat limits too .
Intresting to see they finaly put a limit on baitfish = 9 litres per fisher . So those fisho's, who like me catch heaps of scalies for bait should be aware there is a bag limit starting from 1st Feb 2013
Think I'm beggining to get it Grant. I can see the boat limit for Dhuies is two and then demersal bag limits apply as well. So the way I see it then you could have 4 licenses on board an a total of 8 fish 2 being Dhuies and the rest Pinkies,Baldies etc? I can see the way they have simplified the catgories. Cheers for your input. To answer your question Topwell no as Matt said they come under esturine species not demersal.
