Anything fishing

Today at work, I found out they had a ball with pinkies to 2kg at Black Rock yesterday.
Bagging out in the first hour and just having fun for the rest of the morning

Does any one know what type of fish this is? I have looked in a few books, but can't seem to find it. Maybe it's a juvenile.

If it is a Tilapia as gaddy says, google it. It appears that it a bit of a pest. In fact it get heaps of mentions, looks like its not popular with the authorities. It may be illegal to even think of these things lol.

I have found a few pictures of Drummer which have the same body shape, but different markings, so it may even be a hybrid, which occurs quite often according to one book.

Good news for us here , seems Mr Naphthine wants to ban commercial fishing in the bay altogether.
Can only be a good thing I hope, not sure how it will affect the Mussell leases yet
