New to Perth fishing, first fishing excursion 04-02-12
Hi all,
Long time fisherman, 36 YO male. Have fished in NZ, a lot of surfcasting from the beaches, spinning and fly for trout, as well as a few boat trips. Due to my occupation I had a few trips to the tropics so fished vanuatu, fiji, East Timor, mainly casting lures from the shore but did the occasional small charter. Visited Australia a couple of times and had a great time up north for a few days chasing Barra out of Darwin both trolling and casting lures.
Spent a couple of years in the US (texas) where I fished a lot for bass.
Been in Perth now 2 years and finally wet a line this morning for the first time here.
Went down to Trigg at dawn, walked the beach/rocks and cast a few different lures for a couple of hours around the wash, gutters and channels i could see. Got nothing myself but saw a couple of bait fisherman catch a a fish or two from the rocks. Highlight of the morning was seeing 3 dolphin 50-100m offshore cruising back and forth.
I did a little research mainly on these forums before heading out but looking forward to getting out more often now. Great forum and I look foward to hanging out here.

Yes mate
The tropics and some off the spoys you mentioned are a bit different to Perth.
All I can say is search and there is so much info/
Welcome BTW.
