Same as everywhere mate, you fish in close in the Bay and you will get Herring, whiting,skippy etc.

Go out wide North of Wrights Bank, Coral Lumps around the corner to Sugarloaf and you will find heaps of ground where Demersals are.

The pros came down a few years ago and fairly raped the joint, they potted straight out from Canal Rocks from CowTown to the lighthouse.

You will still get crays on the indicators at Canal Rocks and Yallingup reef. They are not in big numbers though, very few and far between. Diving around Peppy always gets a few though. 

Yes i heard people catch at Sugarloaf but be carefull of the swell.

You can get crays in close from right in Bunkers around passed the Quarries to the cape and right through to Yallingup, the hard part is getting to your pots if the swell comes up. 

last year some guys who stayed at my camp grounds caught alot of crays in about 8-9m of water straight out from the twin towers (mobile phone towers at siester park) they said there is a ledge there. fishing wise if you go to the 4 mile there is some good fish but you have to be in the right spot i have not failed yet out there. pritty much straight out from abby beach. also you can give south bank ago $33 19 00 0 E114 58 00 0 that is the roughly the area. and then south of that is coarl lumps and then south of that is yallingup reef always done well out there. give us a msg when you are going out can take you to a few spots.

thanks rocky

i have only fished the 4 mile out from siester park but i have heard there is some good spots straight out from the marina. the 8 mile have not realy fished as if you can get to the 8 mile you normaly are fishing around the corner but my mate has quite a few spots and they start around siester park and work around to the west towards dunsborough. hope that helps

thanks rocky

i wish i am still waiting to catch my first legal dhuy only been in busso for 3 years and been fishing for 18 months out in the boat so stll learning were all the spots are and the locals arnt to keen to give up there spots but hopping to give this summer a real good bash. as to snapper have been around the corner 5 times and always come back with a snapper. i guess that is the fun of fishing trying to find them but have a good feeling about this summer.

thanks rocky

no fish here chopper.
here, no fish.

haha jokes.
mate go off the west coast, read your sounder well, fish the small lumps and ledges. don't wait to see big lumps with bait and fish everywhere as per photos on here sometimes (don't pass one if you see it tho!!). use cray pots as an indicator although keep in mind there's plenty of crew down here over summer without a clue, so don't be afraid to follow your own path. above all leave any non-savoury practices (pinging etc) for Cockburn sound or two rocks.
come have fun.

good luck mate

trying for crays in the bay, go west coast. Out from Canals towards Yalls these is some good ground that holds crays, always get a few out there. By xmas Peppi beach will be cleaned out due to its accessabilty.

As far as demersals go the area Nth of wrights bank holds Dhues, Queenies, Red Snapper etc. Coral Lumps always holds a nice variety too with Yellowtail Kings mixed in. Basically anywhere off the west coast hold Dhues, just need to find likely ground. Don't bother with the 4 mile. Unless you already have some GPS marks it's a waste of time.

Good Luck

If you have a strong easterly and you are waiting for it to drop fish in close to shore just south of Sugarloaf right down to the cliffs, Always get blue groper, queenies, small dhuies and pinkies. Start right in as close as you can then drift out untill you see sandy bottom on your sounder then steam in for another drift.

There is a real lumpy bit of bottom directly out from Sugarloaf about 2.5nm, don't want to give out the actual marks but its easy to find

Flat sand more likely, starts from where the cliffs start north of Yallingup and runs all the way through to out off Wyadup . There is just a strip of decent bottom about 200 metres wide from the shore out and then its sand, though there is a pinnacle about 2.5nm NW of Canal rocks and a little bit of bottom around it but it gets a flogging from locals.

hi Man Overboard i think there is more people than mr king that has the nan marks out wide ?

sorry for that wagyl

Don't bother bringing your boat down here there's no fish

Best bet if you are new to the area is head out to the big structures which are on the charts (Coral Lumps, Nato Reef and South West Bank). There is a lot of good ground within a couple of kms of these spots. Look for tiny ledges and small bits of flat coral. Slow right down and have a good look.

Geo bay is is pretty hit and miss but still worth a go. Plenty of ground in the bay but extremely hard to find. Fish the tides and dawn and dusk and you might be surprised.

As for nannys just go deep they are everywhere.

this time of year you really need to be fishing coral ledges for crays fish the sand side of the ledge! not sure about down there but in rocko we are fishing about three mile out and there are more crays than you can poke a stick at!! and where there are crays there are usually duhies! good luck

3mile out down here and your in 40-50m, good luck.
