Closed seasons in fresh waters

Print this page

This page provides information on closed seasons in fresh waters. Information on closed seasons in tidal waters is also available.

Why do we have closed seasons?

Closed seasons prevent people from fishing at certain times of the year to protect species at vulnerable times in their life cycle, such as during spawning seasons.

Australian bass

The closed season for Australian bass from 1 June to 31 August now applies to Queensland tidal waters only.

  Basic rule of thumb without getting into pedantics is if there are mangroves its tidal or better still if in doubt dont plenty of other places to fish.
