FISHERS planning a trip to Fraser Island are reminded about the closure of regulated waters during the annual tailor run.

Queensland Boating and Fisheries' Greg Bowness said the closed season applied from today to September 30.

"The closure is in place to protect tailor where they congregate for spawning and to help ensure the sustainability of this important recreational species for future generations,” he said.

Anglers should fish outside the closed waters area between Indian Head and Waddy Point.

The taking of all fin fish is prohibited from 400m north of Waddy Point and 400m south of Indian Head, and 400m out to sea from low water.
