Dinghy and small boat fishers have been doing well on herring, sand whiting and squid within the bay. Yellowtail kingfish and Samson fish have been caught on baits and lures near the islands. Those who travelled wide off Esperance scored nannygai to 65cm, harlequin fish, breaksea cod and dhufish. Check out this how-to fishing video from the Recfishwest YouTube archives of how to catch a feed of herring.
The metro fish aggregating devices (FADs) still have plenty of dolphinfish and tuna varieties on offer. Watch Kurt Wilson's latest YouTube video discussing how the metro FADs have performed very well this season. Mulloway have appeared in Cockburn Sound in big numbers, with dozens of fish being caught within the protected waters some evenings. Big schools of skippy have been found along Five Fathom Bank. The 30m to 50m depths west of Five Fathom have been producing lots of pink snapper in the 4kg to 8kg range, alongside breaksea cod and the occasional dhufish. More dhuies have been caught off Hillarys, Mindarie and Two Rocks where baldchin groper have been common. King George whiting can be targeted near Windmills and in 10m to 18m of water off City Beach and Cottesloe. Squid catches are improving along the seagrass beds off Fremantle.
