from what i can understand you can in some areas as long as the fillets are of a certain length compared to the frame and skin is left on for identification. you should be able to get all the rules on the fisheries site
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
The only fish I see that you can't fillet at sea are black bream, tailor and estuary cod, everything else so long as it's over 300mm and skin/scales still on your good to go. Does anyone actually do this or do you guys bring home whole and process at home??
these rules do my head in evey one has a diffrent interpataiom
can i ask where it says about the bream tailer and estry cod
this is the extract im reading thats how i came to my conclusion above
Special Risk species must always be landed whole on a day trip. These are shown in the ‘Bag and Size Limits’ section. They may be filleted after a lawful overnight stay on an island.
on my boat i always fillet at sea just less mess and the day is over once the boat is cleaned
ill fillet asap some days and get them fillets on ice

If you look at the bag limit section you will find the 3 fish I listed highlited in red/pink then if you look at the bottom of each of the bag limit pages it says that red/pink indicates must be landed whole. Considering there is no Special Risk in the bag limit section specifically listed this is how I came to my list.

ive had a few disagreements
ive had a few disagreements about this in the past with deckies and on some charters
this is the way i read the rules correct me if im wrong
you can fillet at sea as long as the skin remains on and its at least 300mm long
only exception is high risk Cods (includes
breaksea cod, harlequin
fish, grey banded rock
cod and Chinaman cod
not sure what ill do if i get 2 30kg grey banded cod at sea they wont fit in a esky?
and why is breaksea cod high risk i see plenty caught and i release because i dont like eating them
