OH DEAR: Is it a Bream? A Snapper?... It’s definitely not a Whiting – Reader questions Council’s fish identification sign
FISH SIGN TALES

A Newsport reader was taking their morning stroll just days ago in Port Douglas when they stumbled across a Douglas Shire fish identification sign.
Upon a closer look the bemused local did a 'double take' when they noticed something about the sign just wasn’t quite right.
Can you pick it?
“I’m no expert fisherman but that is not a whiting in the image,” the morning walker jokingly remarked to us.
The reader’s picture does indeed reveal the sign mistakingly features another fish as a whiting - or has the whiting since assumed a new fishy identity?
