 Anyone had any luck on the busso jetty lately?

Thinking of traversing the old girl this weekend,

any reports would be appreciated 

thanks

They make you pay ( $ ) in all conditions

Mon, 2013-05-27 17:19

As matt says, it remains open 24/7 - but you have to pay to use it during daylight hrs

 

As I understand it the Busselton Jetty is possibly the only Jetty in Australia you have to pay a fee just to walk on ?

Most fishing guys go out just minutes after the payment office closing time

Even us locals have to pay to walk on the Jetty in daylight

A few being caught 4-6 per night. 15-20kg mark. I won't say where exactly so no one ask ( the other guys would give me a verbal flogging if i gave spots away. )

Well

Wed, 2013-05-08 10:36

when the bay turns to choc milk as it has now the main focus at the jetty is Mulloway. Been a good run over the last week or so as jetty rat has said.

Apart from mulloway you can get the usual small stuff ie. Yellowtail, Herring and Squid. But more pelagic species like Tailor, Bonito etc. can be harder to get due to the super dirty water. Not that i'd target them anyway with the chance of a 15kg+ mulloway being fairly high.

Forecast suggests

Wed, 2013-05-08 10:44

10-15kn S-SW with up to a 4-5m swell (not that it gets into the bay though) so it will still be dirty from all the shit we're gonna cop this week but will be starting to clear.

I'll be too busy getting tubed
