Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I know its a bit cold but im itching to throw a line in.
Anyone been out around Perth lately and know whats biting.

I have no boat so anywhere i can drive/walk to would be awesome.

i used to get out a bit last year but since living in Qld for so long i have no idea where decent spots are. I used to goto the jetty behind the coogee cafe a fair bit in summer and got heaps of squid.

Perhaps take a look at this thread.

5 fathom bank... isnt that off the coast?

Most offshore banks... are offshore....

Haha
the 5 fathoms gave it away
well in my first post i was asking about something to drive/walk too...
I forgot to mention my car is not amphibious and id rather not swim. Maybe in summer.

Sorry. Have no idea about the coast or rivers. Just saw that some one had a few bites and thought I would link you to the thead.

Herring and small salmon, caught about 2 dozen herring today and a couple of small salmon about 35cm... Beautiful day out there... We were in a boat, but I imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to catch them from shore in similar areas.

You could try somewhere like the southern end of Henderson, there's a nice quiet little spot there you can get to rocks above some ok water.

Ahh herring. Dont mind them at all. My great uncle taught me to catch them as a kid with lamb and squid peices in cornflour down in busselton.
I think i might have a go for them.
What were you using for bait for those?

Mosy packet baits fro the shop will be ok. I'd say prawn best, squid will stay on the hook longer, I usually use herring from the last trip!
Goodluck!!!

once the herring are on the bite, use a blob float with a looong leader down to a fluoro tube on a hook. you will catch the bigger ones this way and a lot more fun with no bait needed

We were using metal halco slice lures.. Worked a treat, haven;t take bait fishing in quite a while now..
