Pengos Herring
Fished Pengo's tonight ( penguin Island ferry area ), our main plan was to fish the sand bar but that area was closed to the public so we headed to the jetty instead, that was packed not enough room, so we head about 300 mtrs up the beach and set up our gear for the evening fish.
I was the first to hook up with a small KG, that was released after that it went quiet for a while, I was thinking why did I come here to fish, after the sun set the guys at the jetty let out this big burley trail which turn things to the better for us, we just fished the burley trail, the Herring were taking baits from a bottom rig that was casted about 6 feet away from us, then after a bit that die off and the Herring were hiting the float set up we had.
also landed a couple of blowie's and jazz lost a Tailor in the surf, over all we took home 12 herring.

it's not that long realy, if you weren't looking you would walk right off it, not alot of room to fish, have heard that the Squid are thick around that area.

Hamelin
Try down towards the channels at Boranup end of the beach.The salmon usually hit there first and school up before moving south along the beach then turning in a circle going north out wideFirst one should be starting in the next couple of weeks

Not sure if the sandbars
Not sure if the sandbars open for the weekend,,last report closed till Friday (today) due to dangerous currents and tides.
If you like blowy swarms the sandbar can be a great place sometimes,,better than the swan river
