I’d have to check. There were definitely size limits for popular species before 1994 but I’m not sure about possession limits. I know pre-1988 recreational fishers could sell their excess catch to local “Fish Boards” so perhaps there were no possession limits.  Leave it with me

Thanks Andrew.

Done a bit of research - first time size limits were legislated in Qld was 1877 (yes, 1877 not 1977) in the Queensland Fisheries Act 1877- these were minimum legal size in weight not length.

Almost 100 years later,  the Fisheries Act 1976 was the first time bag limits were introduced in Qld.

Info is from this book:

I'm just wondering if you all actually get to your bag limits often?

I've only managed it a couple of times/

1. Came across a big school of Blue Salmon hold up in a creek mouth over at Curtis Island near Gladstone. Hit 10 fish in 10 casts.

2. Bribie island after some good rain, got to my 10 Mud crabs in about and hr and a half (back in 2005)

3. Hit my bag limit of tailor of the beach at double island point a couple winters back.

That's about it.
