The NSW Department of Primary Industries is reminding anlgers that the annual zero bag limit closure for Australian bass and estuary perch in all NSW rivers and estuaries starts this Tuesday, May 1.
The zero bag limit closure protects the fish during this spawning period to ensure they can remain a popular catch with recreational fishers for many generations to come.
This season, the NSW DPI has stocked a record 429,000 Australian Bass in NSW waterways from our Port Stephens Hatchery, plus a further 89,000 fish from registered private hatcheries.
