Demersal Ban

 Hi all, just learning the ropes with the Demersal ban - does this mean you can fish them but just can't bring any home? 

I have read if caught fishing in say the 3 mile reef then they can fine you anyway do not want to do the wrong thing but this has confused me

 You're not allowed to

 You're not allowed to deliberately fish for them. If you are fishing with a rig for whiting and one happens to jump on then you can release it but if you're using big baits and heavier gear then you're in trouble.
