yer thats what i was thinking but im going with my uncle and he is a free diver so it will probly be in some shallow water so im just making shore i can fish with out getting in trouble.
...if you are in possession of a snapper from outside the sound, you cannot come into the sound and fish. You can pass through (like on the way back to the ramp), but as long as you have a snapper on board you can't stop and fish.
you need a demersal licence , need to have release weight , if you catch 1 dhui 1 snapper & 1 parrot fish your over the limit , even if you just catch 3 parrot fish your over , hefty fines will apply

Yes it is still on until end of the month. You'll be free to fish for them in Warnbro and Cockburn Sound 1st Feb onwards.

dhuie ground in the sound? it's only a ban on for cockburn and warnbro sounds so if you're out from point peron you should be right.

Not sure
what you mean by demersal licence mate??? The only thing you need is a RFBL. Or Parrotfish
