Keepin' the reels screamin' with catch and release
With the support of recreational fishers, the NSW Department of Primary Industries has one of the most extensive fish tagging and monitoring programs in the world. We’ll help you tag your catch and return it safely to the depths. We’ll record the tag details of any recaptured fish so you can get your recapture certificate and find out where it has been.
