Israel Fishing Catch and Size Limits



You must know these size limits before fishing in Israel.

Every angler, professional or amateur, must obey these size and catch limits regulations both for saltwater and freshwater fishing.

Understanding and Measuring the Minimum Size For A Caught Fish

The minimum size is the shortest permitted length for a caught fish as approved by law. The fish is measured when laid flat, from the tip of its mouth to the tip of its tail. The minimum length limit was determined in order to prevent the fishing of young fish that have not yet attained sexual maturity, and therefore cannot produce offspring and create a future generation. If a fish is caught that is shorter then the detailed limitation, it should be thrown back into the water immediately.

Daily fishing is limited to a maximum of 5 kg or 2 large fish at most.
(even if each fish weighs more than 5 kg).
