Bunbury Fishing Report
Submitted by dannyg on Mon, 2010-03-01 09:14
Hi There,
I had the misfortune of spending the weekend trying to fish in Bunbury. Not knowing Bunbury very well I went into BCF to ask them some advice. Everyone there said that there wasn't really any good places to fish in Bunbury and that it was ok 10 years ago....that didnt help me much. One guy told me to fish near a rock groyne and that there were fish there. I caught maybe 200 whiting but they were about 6-10cm long - just fingerlings. I tried other places around the harbout, the cut and other beaches all to the same success. It was too windy - very strong breeze to launch the tinny so was stuck on the land.
Note to self - If i want to catch nothing (or close to nothing) go fishing in Bunbury...

Sorry you got that service at BCF...
they arent renowned for it here. There are fish here but You really have to fish peak times and use berley. And a bit of luck helps as well!!! Suprised that you didnt drop the tinnie in the collie river and have a go. Lots of bream in there, just have to find em 1st. Better luck next time..
FEEEISH ONNN!!!

yeah - it was definately interesting. My Mrs is a Dr and they had an emergency surgery conference there - hence i tagged along for the trip... BCF were OK just not willing to give any hot tips for fishing in Bunbury.
barneyboy - nobody told me about the collie river
purplemonkey - thanks might be down there later on in the year - will definately pm you.
