Fish Rules: Local Fishing Laws Description
Fishing regulations made simple.
Get clear, up-to-date recreational saltwater fishing regulations for state and federal waters, from Maine to Texas, California, Hawaii, and the Caribbean.

Why Fish Rules
Find out if a fish is in season, how many you’re allowed to keep, and the size limit.
Automatically get location-based regulations using GPS, or manually set your location. You can manually enter your latitude/longitude.
Works offline so you can check rules anywhere.
Fish without fear - always updated throughout the year.

Key Features
Simple, easy-to-read regulations.
Species illustrations and photos for accurate identification.
10,000’s of artificial reef locations to find and catch more fish.

Answers to the most common fishing regulations are provided in an intuitive, at-a-glance format:
What is the bag limit and/or vessel limit for the fish I just caught?
What species are prohibited?
When does the season open or close for a particular species?
When are circle hooks necessary?
When is a dehooking device necessary?
When is a venting tool necessary?
How do I report the landing of a Highly Migratory Species?

Stop guessing. Start fishing with confidence.
