Flattieman Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Sounds like an awesome session, Miller. Often, catching the squid can be pretty challenging - doesn't sound like you encountered such a problem! Sounds like a good number of kings caught - even a few with some size to them . Great to hear that you got some thumper bream too! Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy0884 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Good work on the 40 squid! Outa curiousity I thought the bag limit was 10 squid per person????????? Dan taken straight from the DPI NSW Fisheries website. Bag limits There are five bag limit categories - zero, two, five, 10 or 20 fish per fisher. Bag limit - is the maximum number of fish per person in possession. A maximum daily bag limit of 20 applies to any fish or invertebrate not included in the tables below, except baitfish*. *Pilchards, whitebait, bluebait, herring, anchovies, yellowtail, jack mackerel, slimy mackerel, garfish, hardyheads, soldier crabs, saltwater nippers and worms, except beach worms which are subject to a bag limit of 20.
