I'm currently in Narrabri, NSW and have some time to kill and thinking of fishing. In NSW us young (54yo) Grey Nomads have to pay $30 a year to fish. Do you guys and gals fish and do you actually catch eatable fish? Or should I just sit on the bank for a bit then go to Cole's for a fillet for dinner?
Cheers, Andy

Come to Qld- no licence required!When down south, i buy a licence and catch enough fish for me and others- ask the people at Greens lake. We had a good feed of salmon and bream caught at Tathra, last ime I was there.I don,t mind paying the licenceif the money goes to better facilities, at ramps or jetties or fisheries research Bill

Hi Andy
If you have a pension card you do not need a licence in NSW (unless they have changed the rules from last year)
It is worth having a go even if you have to pay. We are at lake Keepit and although haven't had much success here I did catch a 10kg murray cod at copeton dam (unfortunately out of season) a couple of weeks ago and a lot of redfin which have a very nice sweet flakey flesh.

Its not worth losing all your gear and getting fined for the cost of the licence Ken

I've caught 20 fish in Brisbane Waters near Gosford NSW, most of which had to go back, too small, but we had a feed from the good ones. I caught a few at Hawkes Nest/ Tea Gardens but 4 were legal to keep and eat. Great fun!

Depends on how often you wish to fish I guess.
