[nathank92]

The hole on the left that runs under Ipswich road holds fish and also the end freney st has fish. Either or

Yeah a few people fish that waterway. Some big fish in there my work is right there on the creek behind bunnings where the crane booms are. If you see a franna poking around give us a wave.

Being a noxious pest they're all meant to be kept mate.......

Technically.......but I've witnessed Fisheries officers inspect the catch of guys fishing for Tilapia at Nth Pine Dam and they were only interested in seeing a SIP and making sure the Tilapia were being taken away dead.
It doesn't bother me either, smart policing I recon..

I remember when I was a kid we would catch the massive carp like 5kg.. even bigger at times!!
Though the smaller 1- 2kg carp we threw on the fire and one night we ate them and they are white pinky flesh, quite edible fish.
Yeah but I would not eat anything from Rocklea, it is an industrial area after all and waterways health has deemed that catchment one of the worst in Brisbane.
The Asian guy is obviously nuts.

I have actually eaten Tilapia deep fried (rub in salt first) crunchy and it pretty good ;D Thai chilli dipping sauce :P , eat with fingers :)

Just remember that Carp and Tilapia are declared noxious species in Queensland. It is unlawful to possess noxious fish alive or dead or to use them as bait. It is illegal to place or release noxious fish alive or dead into Queensland waterways. Noxious fish cannot be kept, hatched, reared or sold, or taken home for eating or any other purpose. Penalties of up to $200,000 apply.

That means they must be disposed of correctly ie: buried above high water mark or placed in a rubbish bin and not kept for consumption.
