⚠️ A guide only — you are ultimately responsible for obeying local fisheries laws. CatchLocal provides guidance to help you, but it does not replace the official rules. Species identification is an educated estimate, not a definitive determination, and regulations change. You alone are responsible for correctly identifying your catch and for complying with the current size, bag, sex and seasonal limits in your jurisdiction. Always confirm against the official source before keeping anything. Rules shown are Queensland tidal-water recreational limits (Qld Govt, reviewed 26 Mar 2026).

📍 Your region

Catch Local shows the legal catch rules for your region. We detect your region automatically, or choose it below.

📷 Identify your catch

Add a photo, then answer a few quick questions. We rank the most likely local species and show the rules for each. This is an educated guess — confirm before you keep anything.

🐟 Community catches

See what others are landing near you — shared by region only, never an exact spot. Sharing is completely optional. You can also create a private link to send one person your catch, and (only if you choose) the exact GPS spot.
