NSW offers a range of incredible recreational fishing experiences, from offshore gamefishing for rampaging marlin and metre-plus kingfish to soaking a bait in a tranquil estuary for bread and butter species like bream and whiting to casting big swimbaits in western impoundments for giant Murray cod. With so much on offer, it’s no wonder that for many of us, fishing is more than just catching a fish, it’s a way of life.
This is why safeguarding our waterways is so important – by preserving and enhancing fish stocks and protecting the places we love to fish, we can ensure a positive future for our sport, the next generation of fishos and the environment.
Fish For Life is a new campaign initiative of NSW DPI and the Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council which promotes the sustainable growth of recreational fishing in NSW plus raises awareness of the positive social benefits associated with our great sport. As well as highlighting all the fantastic things about fishing, NSW DPI says Fish For Life also encourages passionate fishers to get involved in helping build a healthy fishing future in NSW.

This new initiative is being run using funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts.
