I'm happy with 7 per day at 30cm but feel the commercial guys should have their minimum size increased to the same.How much salable flesh do they get off a 25cm snapper ,that size would hardly be worth trying to fillet & then boneless it out you'd loose biggest part.
I think they should have a cut in quota & be kept out of the inshore fishery /spawning grounds .I think 3km would probably give the stocks opportunity to regenerate.
I caught 4 Sunday night around 5lb ,more than enough for myself. 7 is quite generous but an even playing field for commercial and recreational fishing would be fairer.
