Confused or concerned about the future of Cockburn Sound with the Government’s Westport plans and other developments looming in the next decade? Find out more info here. We urge everyone who loves the Sound and the fantastic array of fishing it provides to keep themselves up to date about the Westport development, so when the time comes you can submit your views from an informed perspective as part of the Public Environmental Review process due in March 2025. Cockburn Sound is a popular, safe, accessible marine playground with its seagrass meadows supporting a huge range of species and home to the biggest spawning aggregations of pink snapper in the West Coast Bioregion. There aren’t many places in the world that have all this on the doorstep of their capital city, so it's crucial we do all we can to protect Cockburn Sound and the fishing experiences it provides.

As soon as you land a fish on the boat or land, it’s important to treat the fish with care and minimise the duration of stress resulting from direct handling.
If you’re wanting to take a snap of your catch, it’s also important to have the camera ready to go as soon as possible, especially if you intend on releasing the fish, to help minimise the risk of damage to the fish.
We all love showing off our catch, but you can do it by being more respectful to the fish as well as making your fish photos look much better to those who view them if you decide to share them across social media.
Check out some of the tips for taking great photos of your fish!
