Gone fishing day apply to Crays?

 Anyone know if the "gone fishing day" and not needing a Rec fishing licence to catch fish tomorrow, also applies to Crays?

 

eg, can three people go diving from a boat tomorrow and catch 8 Crays each if they don't have a licence?

 

cheers

 Yeah I'm just not sure- it says you don't need a rec fishing licence, of which a cray licence is a rec fishing licence.

none of the info on the fisheries website is specific about not needing a "rec fishing from a boat licence" and actually says that the exemption for the day include from a boat.

It's all

a bit ambiguous!?!?

 Fyi 

Spoke to fisheries at ramp and applies to Crays as well. So you don't need a licence today to take Crays. Obviously bag/ boat/size limits still apply.

cheers
