Catching your limit
Hey guys new to the site and just had a question for you guys. Is the limits set on the regulations per fishing trip or per year? I was just wondering and I always practice catch and release anyways but if someone could let me know just for future reference that would be great.
Re: Catching your limit
Limits are expressed as in your possession. Technically, if your limit is 6 and you have three in the freezer at home you should stop when you catch three more. But realistically I don't think anyone is going to check your freezer unless you are suspected of regularly over fishing.

Re: Catching your limit
Possession Limits and Daily limits are not always the same. Just have a good look at the catch limits for the zones you're fishing in before heading out. If you dont have a copy of the regs, it's available online too.
Re: Catching your limit
You should also be careful on zone boundaries when moving around as the limits may change.
So if your on a multi day trip and catch your limit each day (and are not eating them for some reason) would you be over the possession limit?
