Perhaps a bit late if they were undersized! You need to be aware of the regs. I haven't caught a salt water fish in my life but I can assure you, the odd times I have tried I had no intentions of keeping anything so as to avert these issues. Only thing I did was to find out if there were any noxious species that should not go back and any areas where you weren't allowed to fish. Nice fish as well!
thanks

I realy should know what you are catching if you are going to keep fish - if you dont know the ID of a species or the min size you realy should return them

with salmon you should also bleed them if you are going to eat them you will get better tasting fish that way
or use them as shark bait

I'd be having a read of this https://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fisheries/re ... hing-guide" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as ignorance is not an excuse to take undersize or protected fish.

In future, it would be wise to release any fish you don't know.

Jim we will have to work on that - salt water species are easier to catch than carp
or is that just my carp catching skills
