Read the full storyThe barramundi fishing season in Queensland officially opens on the 1st of February each year, following a seasonal closure from November 1st through to February 1st.
This closure is vital for the protection of the species as it occurs during the critical spawning period, allowing barramundi to reproduce without the added pressure of fishing activity. During this time, the fish are able to spawn and strengthen their population, helping to ensure that barramundi numbers remain healthy and sustainable for years to come.
This seasonal closure plays a pivotal role in the long-term conservation efforts of barramundi. It not only supports the fish during their most vulnerable period but also helps to safeguard the future of barramundi fishing in Queensland. The decision to close the season during spawning times ensures that the fish can reproduce successfully, which is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving population.
For anglers who are eager to fish for barramundi once the season opens, it is essential to adhere to the regulations in place. The minimum legal size for barramundi is 58 cm, and the maximum size is capped at 120 cm.
In addition to size regulations, there are also possession limits in place to help prevent overfishing and maintain sustainable practices. Each person is permitted to possess a maximum of five barramundi, with a boat limit of 10 fish if there are two or more anglers on board.
By respecting the seasonal closures and abiding by the size and possession limits, anglers play an important role in ensuring the ongoing health of Queensland's barramundi populations.
