I have cast nets up here in Kcity, and its legal with a licence. But now that I am FIFO to mandurah, I am pretty sure that it is illegal in the SW of the state.
Is this the case, because above there is Canning bridge - pretty sure illegal, Rocky area use a cast net.
What is the rule. I am to lazy to hunt fisheries ATM.
The info they supply tells you wear you cant use a net, rather than explaining areas you can net. Yes all of the Swan and Canning are closed to netting.
If you download the pdf there are maps of the zones that are closed ( mostly santuarys and marine parks )
Below is a section taken from the fisheries regulation guide .
2.4.2 General description of waters open/closed
to throw netting
Most of WA’s inland waters (rivers, estuaries, inlets,
creeks, lakes and their entrances) are closed to
throw netting all year.
Inland waters open to throw netting for all or part of
the year are covered in Section 3 of this guide – if an
inland water is not listed, it is closed.
All of WA’s ocean waters are open to throw netting,
excluding:
• sanctuary zones in marine parks/reserves;
• total fishing exclusion zones; and
• any other area which is closed to all types of
netting at all times.
Areas where restrictions apply to the use of throw
nets – including restrictions on the take of certain

Throw net
A throw net is by far the easiest way but check that you can use one where you are.

I suppose I should be a little more not lazy and look myself.
But I presume then you can use it in the Ocean, but not estuaries.
The prawns permitted was always an issue. You could previously not take them, unless it was for bait!!! At least that is clarified.
But it does mean I will take my nets back to Mandurah, and not sell them or give them away up here.
Thank you for heads up.
