RECFISHWEST FISHING REPORT EDITOR
From Wednesday 1 February, the west coast demersal fishery will be closed to recreational fishing until the end of March as part of new changes introduced by the Government in December (click on the link below for more details about the rule changes).
Recfishwest called for this late summer closure as it coincides with part of the peak spawning period for dhufish and we are proud it is widely supported by our members and our Expert Working Group because we care passionately about the future of these fish.
However, we remain disappointed that the closure will not apply to all sectors with the commercial fishing industry able to continue to target spawning aggregations of dhufish during this period. The free upgraded Recfishwest app also contains all the fishing rules at your fingertips including outside of mobile range. You can download the app for free on the App and Google Play stores.

Recfishwest is delighted to announce our 2023 Snapper Guardians community fish stocking event will go ahead this year at Woodman Point in Cockburn Sound on Saturday, 11 February following a two-year break.
It is welcome news for mums, dads and kids who can again attend this popular event in person to help us release 5,000 juvenile pink snapper into Cockburn Sound, following the cancellation of the community event in 2021 and 2022 due to COVID. EVENT DETAILS
Where/When: Fish released at 10am on Saturday, 11 February at Jervoise Bay, Woodman Point (see on Google maps)
What to bring: All you need is your family, camera, hat, sunscreen, bathers and a snorkel if you want to get in the drink and get an underwater view of the juvenile snapper swimming off into their new home. There's plenty of fish to go around so come down and roll up your sleeves with us! Click here for more details on Snapper Guardians!
