JMIG 0 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Hi peoples, hope you all had a wonderful christmas! Having a debate here...if there are two of us in a boat and there is a limit (according to the book) of 3 nets per person. that is 6 nets...yesif there is a fishing rod or hand line in the boat aswell does the number of crab nets drop to 3 or still stay at six??the book says: "if other fishing gear is being used, you are only permitted to use 3 drop nets OR 3 hoop nets OR a combination of both to a maximum of three"..............it doesnt say if that is per person or 3 in the boat TOTAL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingsley 19 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 in relation to the "if other gear being used" issue. again that is per person.my understanding is that each person can use 3 nets and 2 rods. JMIG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMIG 0 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 thanks Kingsley,so i can fish for fishies and crab at the same time :silly: i didnt want to get taken out in the boat without my new fishing rod, didnt want to do the wrong thing either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 19 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 you can definitely fish and crab at the same time.burley up for gar and drop down some nets, crack a beer and enjoy the sunshine B)having said that, i highly doubt you will use 6 nets and fish at the same time, it will get too unruly.usually two nets, one out each side to the front and lines out the back.
