Albany fishing
There are three rivers which usually produce, the Kalgan, King and Hay Rivers. You can expect to catch black bream and if lucky maybe a mulloway. For ocean fishing there is Bornholm, West Cape Howe, Nanarup, Cheynes Beach, Shelleys Beach, Middleton Beach, Emu Point, Two Peoples Bay. and Frenchmans Bay. You'll need a 4WD for some of these spots.
I suggest you go to the Tourist Bureau when you get there to pick up some maps of the area.
Albany weather can make or break your holiday, hopefully it will be kind.

I fished Bornholm and it is
I fished Bornholm and it is awesome for producing heaps of fish, but the 'road' down to the beach can be a real challenge to get back up and out, and the tow out would make for a much more expensive holiday!
