Fishing Regulations in Florida
Size limits, bag limits, and seasons by species in Florida.
Florida's freshwater and inshore fisheries, from trophy largemouth bass and panfish to redfish, snook, and seatrout, are managed by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Rules vary by species, region, and season, with closures and slot limits on many saltwater favorites, so check the regulations for what you're chasing before you keep a fish.
