All along the Perth coast there is a reef system about 1km offshore, inside this the water is <10m. My friends do a bit of soft baiting in this shallow water and get quite a few snapper and Dhufish, but it is all done on the change of light in the morning, as soon as the sun is near to coming up the bite shuts down completely. |

They said the surfcasting is usually very good for kahawai (they call them salmon which they get to 20 pound), trevally and herring with a few other species thrown in as well. Some beautiful beaches down there with crystal clear water and white sand, we fished Point Anne which is a bit like Great Exhibition Bay (for water quality and sand). The fishing out from Albany is good but the weather is the problem. |
