Black bream is a popular recreational fishing target, including for catch-and-release charter tours and fishing tournaments. In many estuaries, including the Swan-Canning Estuary, it’s the most common finfish species kept by recreational anglers.
We manage the recreational fishery through size and daily bag limits.
When fishing with the use of a powered vessel, a Recreational Fishing from Boat Licence is required.
Information on fishing rules for black bream including size and bag limits can be found online or in our Statewide 
Recreational fishing guide.
