I always thought a bag limit was a bag limit regardless of where you were in NSW.
The NSW Government surrendered that area in 1915.

Booderee National Park = Commonwealth Territory
Jervis Bay National Park = NSW

A second vote for Adventure Bound on TVS. I think my favourite episode was the one where the host was fishing for kingfish close in to the cliffs south of Sydney, and EVERY fish he hooked roared off like a freight train and busted him off, I don't think he ended up boating anything.
Sadly, the host in the earlier episodes (Neil) died in a skindiving accident. He was great - no nonsense, no silly catchphrases, just solid advice. Well worth checking out.
That was a good show.

You can see some old clips of the show on Youtube.

Its strange that dietary list doesnt even mention mulloway ?
It is strange, maybe they didn't have acces to any samples to test.
See the recommendations about eating Mullet from the Harbour, it's the fish that should be least eaten.
Mulloway like to eat Mullet.
A Mulloway that's eaten a lot of Mullet over the years would have to dioxin / toxins in it's body.

the harbour is polluted with them
The harbour where they are being caught is polluted too.
http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/info/sydney-closure
"No fish or crustaceans caught west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge should be eaten. You should release your catch."
There's probably a lot around because there's not many people eating them.

Looks more like a Southern Ribbonfish than a Oarfish.

Top dorsal fin is different.
Therefore reckon amberjack is out of it. Leaves sampson fish as the best otion
The front dorsal is different because it's laying down flat, Samson Fish have a small front dorsal fin just like Amberjacks do.
I'd say that it's an juvenile Amberjack because of the black stripe through the eye.

quick question about this fish, are these the pike that are good jew bait that can be caught in lake macquarie?
No, but I'd love to see someone try and put a hook through a Pike Eel's back and use it for live bait.
The Long Finned Pike is the one used for live bait not the Pike Eel.

largescale grunter or striped trumpeter both have the same scientific name
http://www.austmus.gov.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/ttheraps.htm
Did you mean the Spiky Trumpeter instead of Striped Trumpeter?
The Largescale Grunter (Terapon theraps) has the same genus as the Spikey Trumpeter/Crescent Perch (Terapon jarbua) but they are two different species.
The Crescent Perch/Crescent Grunter/Spiky Trumpeter looks like it could be a good match too: http://www.austmus.gov.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/tjarbua.htm

Things went quiet for a while after the trevally, my mate caught this odd looking thing which looked like a whiting/flathead

Commonly called a Grinner but also called a Painted Lizardfish, a Painted Grinner and a Snakefish.
Here's a few links:
