After revisiting winter over the past 10 days, fishing opportunities have been limited, with only a few hours here and there proving fair enough to wet a line. Land based reports have been great, with the sand flats around the dunsborough area producing some thumping sand and yellowfin whiting. Specimens reaching 44cm have been a steady occurrance, as well as healthy numbers of 25-35cm fish. Herring have also been in and around the flats, and more than willing to smash any moving lure or bait in the area. Tailor have been around between dunsborough and the cape, with a couple of reports also coming from Busso way, both the jetty and wonnerup offerring tailor. The size has only been small, 25-40cm, but with the weather easing, and the swell on the drop, West coast beaches should start firing with the bigger  choppers and greenbacks.

From the boats, a few reports came in from last weekend, with Sambos, Small pinkies, and a few dhuies, including one horse caught by a local angler which bottomed out legit 24kg scales. The biggest dhuie that i have seen to date this year. A few choolos of small SBT have been popping up around the cape and in the bay, but no reports of fish being landed. You are doing well to keep up with them as they are on the move, and very flighty.

Crabs have been around in healthy numbers, with a few great sized blueys in amongst the ones caught. All the way back to busso on the first and second weed lines is the best place to drop your pots, also a great area to try and get a feed of KG Whiting. Fish the sandy holes in amongst the weed with prawns or squid and you should see the rewards.

The next few days look like they are going to be favourable to our species, and we look forward to hearing all the fishy tales Post GF and Long weekend. Until Next time, fish safe, fish hard, and good luck
