Coming to Perth for a fish
Submitted by tadpole on Tue, 2015-05-19 19:03
Heading down to Perth from Leinster for my first fish in a while and like most of us hoping to have a win. Going to be staying in Midland, so looking at heading to the Reid Highway bridge for a fish or 3. Can anyone tell me if there'll still be bream up that far after the rain? Or should I head a bit further down river. I'm not chasing "secret spots" just wanting to know their movements with the fresh water flush. Used to get a few around Castledare in the Canning but not sure if I'll get the time to head that far though I hope I do because my kids love it there. Am also bringing a larger rod hoping for a bull shark bash at some stage, how far upriver do they go in the cooler months? Or should I just leave the big rod at home? Cheers

Not many
Now we have had a bit of rain, the bream and bait fish have been pushed down river already.
You might still get a few around Redcliffe, but I would be heading towards Perth a bit more. At least Maylands or Belmont to start with.
You could also try East Perth near the old power station or up around the Causeway.
Never hurts to take a big rod, but I haven't heard many reports lately about Mulloway or sharks.

Was keen to head out for a fish as soon as we landed in Perth so went down behind the women's prison and got a few. Surprised me actually, they were all pretty keen. And of a reasonable size too. Will put a coupe of pics up shortly

Well
Well there you go, I have been fishing around Bassendean for almost no results, so I thought the bream would have been pushed down river by the fresh water.
Goes to show, its always worth trying different locations until you find wear the fish are holding up .
Thanks for sharing your results ..
