20.01.2022 Read this interesting article from a perhaps less enlightened time. The pictures show that Albany Whaling Station was home to some big Great Whites. The Whaling Station now only caters to tourists and is great to visit but there are still plenty of big sharks around the coast of WA. https://thewest.com.au//shark-hunter-recalls-monster-great

16.01.2022 New Abalone Fishing Rules in Perth ! In the interests of safety, this seasons abalone fishing days will be run over the summer months to reduce the risk of rough weather conditions. Fishing also shifts to Saturdays, rather than Sundays. There are only four brief fishing windows, between 7am and 8am on 9 December 2017, 13 January, 3 February and 17 February 2018. This very limited fishing season is required to preserve the population and prevent overfishing. If severe weat...her conditions are forecast, action will be taken to close the fishery. The catch will be monitored throughout the season to ensure the fisherys sustainability and where necessary or justified, the season may be reduced in length or extended,.

Please take care and please do not selfishly pillage stocks and deprive others of the opportunity to share in this unique fishery.

11.01.2022 Interesting article about a big Grey Nurse Shark seen in the Richmond River at Ballina. Most unusual for Grey Nurse shark to be in a river and while they are not aggressive like Bull Sharks which do frequent river systems and canals - this is still a big animal. Given the increasing prevalence of sharks, I think we can all heed the advice given about not disposing of fish frames and old bait in areas frequented by other recreational users https://www.news-mail.com.au//fisherman-in-shock-/3252112/

06.01.2022 School Holidays are around the corner - so for those heading north to Exmouth here is an excerpt from the Tackle World Exmouth Newsletter. Drop in an see Jenni at Tackle World if you want to know where they are biting. "Fishing charters and tours get booked out early, so if you are a visitor we suggest you get in and book as soon as possible. There are so many more options these days in Exmouth from fly fishing guides, to reef fishing, sports fishing, billfishing and fishing... from a kayak. Of course, if you just want to hit the shores yourself there are plenty of options too. Checking out the local tackle shop is the best way to ensure youre on the right path to have a successful time out. The gulf blue swimmers have been showing up in good numbers according to local reports. The weather forecast for the weekend was suppose to be horrid, but turned out to be fabulous and crabs were the talk of several crews that headed south in the gulf. Squid have also been around on the flats down there, but the prawns have been scarce in comparison to previous years. Drop nets in a small boat are the best way to get the blue swimmers, but if youre restricted to the land and keen to walk the shoreline with a crab scoop, you may be pleasantly surprised. You can also just use the drop nets from the shore, but please make sure you have the correct license for netting prior to heading out. This lisence is also required if using a throw net for prawns or bait collection. Tim Johnson managed to get 12 blue manner crabs in 3 nets off the side of the Learmonth jetty in only an hour. Learmonth Jetty has been another hotspot this last week with reports of honker flatead along the beaches, along with squid and whiting, which is expected at this time of year. Young kids using light gear and tiny lures for whiting have had fun, or the use of soft plastics for the flathead is another successful technique. Traditional methods of bait fishing using prawns for these bread-and-butter species has also been effective for those people preferring to use bait. Tuna have been coming within casting range of the jetty and we suggest a medium size outfit with braid and a metal slice cast far and retrieved with speed to target these tuna. The school mackerel have made a good presence there also for light tackle fun. If youre not sure of how to set up for these species, drop in and ask the staff at Tackle World who have been in amongst the action. The winter time is GT from the shore season for some anglers and a few have been heading out to target the hardy trevally at dawn and dusk. We always recommend using barbless hooks for these feisty fish that will find any weak link in your terminal tackle. Using barbless hooks is far better for hook retrieval and can also help the fish spit the lure if you lose the connection. Gloves are also reccommended for handling the fish prior to release.
