Crab pots NSW

[wow]

Off to Brunswick for a couple of weeks and while hoping for fine weather ????????? am also throwing a few pots in. Acknowledging the one pot per person law (correct me if I'm wrong) what's the BL in NSW and any other significant laws that are necessary to be aware of?

Cheers

if you read the rules (always a good thing) you will see there is a difference between a trap and a net (as in lift net for Blue Swimmers) you can have 5 nets, now just yesterday I was talking to a guy that said the fisheries told him (I know, a guy heard from a bloke) that you can have 5 nets per person and 20 crabs per person, BUT! there is a boat limit of 10 nets and 40 crabs, regardless of how many people are in the boat, I scowered the rules and cannot find anything like that, but most rules requiure a Barrister to make any sense at all, he swears it was a fisheries official that told him this, anyone see anything like that in the rule book? (NSW this is)

He was only 1/2 right

Here is the guide to nets
