Using the app
Fishing rules at your fingertips with our free recreational fishing app.
New feature: My fishing
The new 'My fishing' feature allows you to:
- easily access your fishing history, with up to 9 environmental factors added in for each trip
- get detailed fishing stats
- share a trip summary by social media, message or email
- access extra information about the fish you're catching.
You asked for better recreational catch data and voluntary data collection via an app, and we listened.
The 'My fishing' feature will help us gather better recreational catch data, so we can make sure Queensland's fisheries are managed in a sustainable way.
