Fishing Regulations

Check seasons, size limits, bag limits, and licenses before keeping fish.

Regulations change. This page intentionally points to official Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission resources instead of repeating limits that can go stale.

Saltwater Regulations Official FWC recreational saltwater rules by species. Freshwater Regulations Rules for bass, panfish, catfish, and freshwater systems. Licenses Buy or renew Florida fishing and boating licenses. Snook Season and harvest details for one of Florida's most checked species. Redfish Red drum rules and regional management details. Seatrout Spotted seatrout limits and season information.

Keep it legal

Take a photo of the latest rule page or keep the FWC app handy when service is spotty. Slot limits, closed seasons, and special areas can change the answer quickly.
