North Carolina Fishing Regulations

North Carolina Saltwater Fishing Regulations

Keeping up to date with the latest North Carolina fishing regulations is not only important, it's your responsibility. Every year there are numerous changes to the regulations that govern saltwater fishing. These regulations were created solely to protect what we all love, our state's great fish populations and habitat. Minimum and maximum catch sizes and catch limits should be not only obeyed, but respected. They are maintained and enforced by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), one of the most under-appreciated groups in state government. Everyday these dedicated folks work tirelessly to ensure that your grand children will be able to enjoy our coasts as you do today.

The following information on NC regulations not only covers fishing laws from the NCDMF, but also boating requirements from the US Coast Guard. Make sure to refresh your memory on the latest boating regulations as well; keeping up to date will make sure that you stay both safe and legal.
