Fishing
With more than 4800 kilometres of coastline and our part of the Murray River weaving through 650 kilometres, fishing is big in South Australia.
During your next fishing holiday, you can dangle a line from a jetty or riverbank, rake for crabs just off the beach, take the boat out where the whiting are biting, or join a charter out to big fish territory.
Tips and regulations
A number of fishing regulations are in force to protect our precious supply of fish. Some fish species are protected, while others have closed seasons. Be aware that size and bag limits apply for some species, so find out before you fish.
PIRSA provides further information on fishing in South Australia, including details on regulations and fish sizes.
