As many freshwater fishers know, environmental changes — including annual declining rainfall in WA’s south — pose a risk to the South West freshwater fishery. That’s why Recfishwest is calling freshwater anglers to complete a quick 10-minute survey to play their part in shaping the trout fishery’s future. Click here to complete the survey.
Very few boat fishers managed to head offshore this week as a result of the rough weather. Once conditions settle, expect pink snapper to still be in very good numbers in 20m to 50m of water south of Rottnest Island. Dhufish and baldchin groper are likely to still be in the 50m to 70m depths north-west of Rottnest and wide of Hillarys and Mindarie. Conditions may need to settle somewhat before squid return to the seagrass meadows off Fremantle and Leighton Beach.
