Check recreational fishing size, bag, and boat limits

Recreational fishers must comply with the daily fishing limits for marine and freshwater species caught in South Australian waters.

• Size limits: There is a minimum (and sometimes maximum) legal size for some fish species.
• Bag limits: There are limits on the number of a particular fish species that one fisher may take each day.
• Boat limits: If 1 or 2 people are fishing from a boat, the personal bag limit applies to each person. If 3 or more people are fishing from a boat, the boat limit (the total number of fish that can be landed on the boat) applies.
• Bag and boat limits apply for a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight.
• Size, bag, and boat limits may vary for charter boat fishing.

For more information, see fishing limits explained.

Species that are not listed don't have fishing restrictions in SA, but you should take only what you need for personal use.
