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.

Doesn't work. Never found my location, and I know how to use a phone extremely well. Not the user, but the app.

This app is a life saver. No more worrying if this fish you kept are legal or not, especially if you just moved and are unfamiliar with the new areas regulations. Also, the app loads extremely fast and with favorites setup you can reference the regs while holding the fish to determine if you can keep em. It saved me today when I drew a blank on seatrout regs in Florida, with one in hand.

Glad they fixed the problem so quickly. Still an issue is that here in NY, striped bass has two different regulations. One for North and one for South of the GW Bridge. The app only presents North of the bridge.

I really like the fact that the regulations are based on GPS location. If you need anything just contact them, A++ service and responses. This is the app that fwc uses. There's no excuse for not knowing the law now

I work at a bait shop and it is awesome. Found a app that can tell you the regulations and have pictures of the fish that you catch I'm going to put this out to everyone that comes in my shop you got two things wrong Cobia is 33 inches and not 37 and American Shad you cannot catch an American shot this year besides that Flawless thank you for the app

I found several inaccuracies on seasons in the new England area. Also would be nice to have a quick selectable region like for different states. Right now I can only pick one at a time. Great potential though will be recommending to my friends. Common bait fish would be nice as well. Herring, mackerel, sand eels, bunker. Etc

Used this app for several years and really liked its features and functionality. Completely hangs on start up screen with Galaxy S7 (Android 6.01). Please fix soon!

Some ideas to improve this app: search bar, so you don't have to scroll for days to find a species. Also specify where on the body you must measure for your fish to be legal, as its not always nose to tip of tail!! But thank you for this app I use it a lot! Ok now its perfect! You guys did well :)

Has a very easy simple yet information design. Regulations are accurate and up-to-date. It tells you the regulations wherever you are. A must have for every fishermen.

by K####:

This is one of My most used apps. It is updated every time I open it. Separation of federal and state waters are invaluable. Since rules change so much on the Gulf Coast it is my go to.

F70%

This app would be even better if it had the different types of crabs,shrimp and other shellfish regulations

I'm always forgetting what the regs are. Great to have!
