Brett is right.  As long as you haven't taken snapper during the closed season (where you would have to be caught at the ramp or on the water doing so - evidence wise), then you just can't have more than the posession limit at any one point in time. 
So for example Brett and I would be all good with 8 in freezer - none in Esky - so we are definitely safe.  Lol.
Eating frozen snapper as Sushimi might be a crime though 😹

The sashimi was really tasty though, with some salt and a bit of lemon. I cryovacced both snapper fillets which makes it come out the freezer tasting just a little worse than fresh but much better than a ziplock bag

So long as you don't have more than your possession limit you are fine is my interpretation.

Well much more fun than my day. I have not fished freshwater or a dam for.... I can't even remember accurately... Probably nearly 10 years. Tinaroo would have been the last time I think. 
And it was very different to when I fished it as a kid.

OMG.... "Bascat does NPD".... Sounds like a vhs tape from behind the curtain 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Glad you two got out and got a few fish👍.

"Bascat"...🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love it 👍. 

Nice work guys, looks like a fun day!

Haha. Thanks Ray.
It was a bloody good day and nice to have the drag do a bit of screaming (even though it was Hollywood-loose to start the day).

Well Debby could not make it and nor could Dallas so we had to make do and have a  mini bass orgy.

Thanks for the disturbing equations. @Andrew_P keep collecting and giving love to the old school stuff because what is marketed now in the big chains is clearly VERY cheaply produced.

The the store person at Anaconda told me that when items are put onto clearance they need them sold and that the profit margin has already been reached on those items. Because the stores don't have as big a market as other stores they don't move them quickly enough to be able to fit new stock in store so they heavily discount the items to move them quickly for space. I have found that if I go into Anaconda or BCFs website and click the clearance section than you can bet that if I find something I want it will be half the price or less than the clearance price advertised. For example the team daiwa rods I bought were advertised on clearance at anaconda for $165 I went to the store and $50. 
The store person also said they are given a lowest possible clearance price and offered incentives to move the clearance stock. For example the person who moves the most clearance stock in the state from X period to Y period gets a free Shimano stradic reel.

Definitely not seeing these levels of discounting in SE Qld. Maybe regional Victoria overstocked before they heard the comm games were cancelled 🤣

I also failed to mention I also picked up a Lowrance hook reveal 5 with maps for $99 down from $649. 

Yeah regional Victoria. It's a hard time of year to fish in regional Vic. I'll post some photos at some stage. I joined the forum cos I read it regularly and thought I might as well have some input.

Haha yeah I certainly didn't need it all. I upgraded alot of gear. I have a 15 year old fishing mad son who got half of the haul. That was the best part for me he was so wrapped getting quality gear. He was posting all his new gear on Snapchat to his mates. He's Just started using baitcasters and is picking it up really quickly. So the gear is an investment. 
The only problem is every time I think I'm finished there's something else. When I was at Anaconda last the salesperson in fishing was telling me that they are likely to put their Daiwa black reels on clearance for $50 soon so she'll put a couple aside for me. Dead set bargain buying primo gear cheaper than K mart stuff.

yeah ive picked up plenty this year the most i have ever bought. Don't know if I needed it but hey when the price is right. My local anaconda and bcf are across the road from each other so they go into clearance competition mode. the best deals ive picked up are:
about 25 daiwa double clutches, presso minnows and infeet spike lures for $5 each.
2 shimano revolution rods for $40 each (rrp $149)
2 team daiwa black rods for $50 each (rrp $239)
a shimano raider baitcaster rod for $40 (rrp $149)
a daiwa aird baitcaster rod for $40 (rrp $119)
a abu garcia revo x 4 baitcaster reel for $50 (rrp $199) 
2 abu garcia superior reels for $50 each (rrp $199).
i have also seen shimano scorpion and shimano solstace rods for $20 each, Penn black ops rods for $40, Abu Garcia max x combos for $30 each and Daiwa revros reels for $40.

Nice work. How big was that whiting ?

I’ve been on Straddie since Monday morning. Blowing 20+ knots so far. Still managing a feed. 

Weather is great on the Central Coast  NSW. Warm week ahead.
Cheers.

Even early Thursday morning... In and out quickly though.... For those privileged enough...
