I've heard that fish species from up North have been found further South than ever before but never though that Barra fishing would be possible in Sydney!!

Got this email from the DPI today.......

Fish Stocking update

DPI has recently received reports of species such as Barramundi and Silver Perch being caught in the Sydney region outside of their natural range. Fish introduced into waters outside of their natural range as a result of unauthorised releases can spread disease, prey upon and compete with existing fish for habitat and food and in many cases may die if not suited to those environmental conditions. A fish stocking permit is required to release fish in NSW public waters and all stocking applications are assessed to ensure that the proposals are appropriate. Permits for approved stockings are issued by DPI free of charge. Anyone with an interest in fish stocking in public waters should contact us on (02) 4916 3835 or online
