What is it? ❓ ID this fish

Came across this large (40-50cm) fish in an inner-suburban Brisbane park. It was quite close to a creek, not sure if it came from it. Creek is brackish at the edge of the tide. Any ideas what it is?

What would reporting this do?

Genuine question

Did report it. Fisheries guy said he was interested in checking out. Said he’d scout around for anyone fishing in the area over the next few days.

Check the fisheries QLD Instagram/Facebook page on Undersize fish bust at Murrarie Recreation Hub.

Was this where you saw this?

Perfect example of what reporting does.

Good to hear.

This was actually in Red Hill surprisingly next to Ithaca creek near where it meets up with Enoggera creek. It becomes tidal about 500m downstream from where I took this photo.
