Hi from the NSW Central Coast.
I went for a quick session after work taday and caught this fish from one of our local lagoons.
As I first saw the fish, l thought it was a small bream, but once it was landed, it clearly was something else.
I’ve never caught one before, but I believe this is a nice little Estuary Perch.
Anyone able to either confirm this or tell me what it is?
It was returned to the water immediately after the photo, and swam off vigorously!
Caught on a zberkley 3b FatDog in Snoop colour.

Regards,
P.Rye
