About this app

Fish Rules is an innovative way to understand recreational saltwater fishing regulations for state and federal waters from Maine to Texas, California, Hawaii, Bahamas, and the Caribbean.

Fish Rules simplifies saltwater fishing regulations into an easy to understand format. With a glance, know if a fish is in season, how many you can keep, how big they have to be, and more.

FISHING SPOTS

Unlock thousands of artificial reef locations and fishing spots to find and catch more fish, faster.

Fish Rules uses your phone's GPS and calendar to show only the regulations you need. No signal - no problem. Manually enter your latitude/longitude or select your fishing location to get the regulations you need.

Take a photo, log your fish - it's never been easier to brag about your catch!

Keep track of the fish you harvest and the ones you release in our intuitive Fish Log. Review your fish log to find patterns and improve your success on the water.

FISH IDENTIFIER

Crisp illustrations and great photos help you identify your fish. Swipe an image to see identification clues and additional photos. ProStaff subscribers can send in a photo of a catch and have a professional identify the fish.

Ratings and reviews

Great, simple app. The pictures are great, and the regulations for each fish are very easy to understand. They even give extra information for many fish like how good the fish tastes, if the fish is good bait fish, etc The app is a little clunky when you try loading up. I often find myself opening up the app, then closing it, then reopening it. I might have to do this a few times until the app stops freezing at the start.But once the app gets past that, and the fish species pop up, it is golden

I've been using this app for several years, and it just keeps getting better. In addition the staff and people who manage the pro subscription respond lightning fast and are super knowledgeable. I caught a very obscure species of fish (Batfish) and they helped me identify it very quickly. If you are a saltwater angler, and even fresh in some states, this app is only going to become more popular and more helpful to track regulations and to aid in identification. This is a must download.

I absolutely loved this app until this past week. Up until then the information contained was extremely helpful and useful while fishing. It even provided edibility ratings. Now it won't pull up the rules because it can't find my location. I've tried refreshing the GPS and tapping the header but no luck. I'll be happy to amend this review and give the app at least 4 stars if it is ever fixed.
