These limits are pulled from the Fisheries Queensland recreational fishing rules. Last verified June 2026.
Always check the official guide before keeping any fish. Regulations change. Fisheries Queensland (Queensland Department of Primary Industries) updates its guide annually and occasionally mid-year. Fines for over-bag or undersized fish are significant.
Queensland does not require a recreational fishing licence to fish in tidal (salt) waters. A Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) is needed only to fish certain stocked freshwater dams.
