Fishing regulations
Bag limits, size limits, seasonal closures, gear restrictions, marine park zoning and licensing differ between states and territories and change without notice. Always verify current rules with the relevant state or territory fisheries authority before fishing. Any limits mentioned on this site are indicative only.

Weather, tides, swell, river levels and access can change rapidly. Rock platforms, bar crossings, remote tracks and crocodile country carry serious risk. Nothing here replaces current forecasts, local warnings, appropriate safety gear or your own judgement. You fish at your own risk.
