size and bag limits
Submitted by fishmike on Sat, 2011-01-29 12:08
im in perth and just wondering about what size and bag limit differences compared to east coast,for example we have a closed take of about a dozen species including snapper,baldchin,west ausie dhufish which cant be taken between 15 october to 15 december and when they can be taken its only 2 snapper 50cm minimum size for example plus a medium risk section mixed daily limit 12 per angler fish like tailor,bream,skippy,flathead,salmon,etc plus a low risk section mixed limit 30 per angler including fish like herring,whiting,gardies,etc just wondering how these rules compare to east coast rules,for example whats the minimum size for snapper,we also now have a fishing from boat licence 30 bucks a year

Good luck.

any feedback
im really just after some feedback about what you think about the rules on the east coast as i thought the minimum sizes are a lot smaller then what we have in wa,for example 50cm for pink snapper?
