Come on WA Government

In both NSW and Victoria if you are a pensioner you do not need to hold a fishing licence yet in WA whilst we get a discount we are still required to hold a licence.......time WA recognised us OAP's and copied the eastern states lead What do you think?

Same should go for kids under
Same should go for kids under 16. I have to get all 3 kids (8,5,3) a Freshwater licence to even hold a rod in redfin perch country.
Officially off the Pies bandwagon

Rule change
They changed the rules not long ago . Kids under 16 don't need a licence, and no more closed season .

that realy sux. primary
that realy sux. primary school age would be fair but once in high school a small fee for the licence. once they leave school and go to work full fee even if they leave at 15 . imo it would be fair and once retired free again. gotta have something to look forward to

The pensioners get that
The pensioners get that little as it is and how often do they go fishing anyway with the Wa weather being the way it is. Surely it’s not that big a deal. Let them fish I recon for free.

According to the figures WA
According to the figures WA Fisheries bring in over 10 million dollars a year from recreational fishing licences second only to NSW. Given that NSW has 3 times the population and is close neighbours to Vic and Qld (where fishers often fish over the border) its pretty obvious to see we are getting ripped off.
