Updated Regulations 🎣🎣🎣
🎣 Full bag and boat limits are back for Blue Swimmer Crab and Southern Garfish in the Spencer Gulf Fishing Zone, and for migratory finfish species (fish that move from place to place throughout the year to find food or breed) in the Gulf St Vincent and Kangaroo Island Fishing Zone.

• Blue Swimmer Crab: 20 per person / 60 per boat
• Southern Garfish: 30 per person / 90 per boat
For Gulf St Vincent and Kangaroo Island Fishing Zone
• Mulloway: 2 per person / 6 per boat
