Yep, the schools come through there but not as big or thick as on the other side of Geographe Bay.

They are usually back run fish that have done their business and are on the way back south. On the up run they go past Cape Naturaliste and come in to deeper water then turn right to connect with the coast again , doing a circle and coming in around Dunsborough/ Meelup area then heading north again through Eagle and Bunker Bays across Geo Bay and hitting the west coast at or around Bunbury.

All this is dependent on the water temperature being cold because once they hit warmer water they will spawn and turn back south as has happened many times in recent years.

On another subject that runs along the same lines, if you are in to whale watching but don't like heading out in boats to do it then Point Piquet north of Meelup is one of the best land based spots where they come close to shore. Their run mirrors salmon run on both their run north and south.

Don't know if it still happens but back in 97 an old mate (busso local) took me down to Yallingup beach in the late arvo of Easter weekend, was packed/lined with people almost shoulder to shoulder, tails outa the sand (bleeding) all over the place, had to cast/retreive as straight as pos to avoid tangles/agro, not good for a rookie like me but was pretty chuffed/excited having reeled in the biggest fish I'd ever caught, not much of a fight or great eat'n though.

 or u could just go to ammo jetty and bag out every day a relese many more? i dont get the point going hours down south for one salmon(like what u have previosly done), there still getting a few salmon at ammo every week caught.

I'd rather eat my dogs land mines then ever step foot on that ammo jetty

 theres still ammo jetty beach, coogee jetty, port coogee, woodies rocks

 Bit of reef at Peppy Grove and up to Stratham north of there so youd have to find your spots carefully i guess (I havnt fished there much). Forrest beach just south might be worth a look too as theres no shoreline reef i dont think. I know they sometimes catch the schools coming through from Dalyellup and then the beaches North of Bunbury

 I think Adam said if I recall fishing boy ?? He's ain't goin 

to be as forgiving !! I'd be chosing my words carefully !! 

Kingfisher come Fishin boy !! Just trying to save your ass !! I'm with Gil !!!! 

Pirate !!!

 Lachie, there's a couple of spots for a good beach fish. The Pine tree has fished well in the past, that's half way between Peppy and Forrest. Also Robinsons Cut is just a little west of Peppy, you might need to ask a local about that. It's usually fished in a boat, but I've heard of plenty of fish coming from the beach here.

Havn't been down Busso for years (lived there for a few in late 90's)

I know the canals changed the beach sth along Bayside (where I got married)

But does the inlet still open nth at Wonnerup?

Still allowed to take 4x4's up there?

Was a great spot, spent allot of time up there fish'n (banjos mainly), swim'n, running the dogs, getting away from tourists etc

 Thanks for all the help guys, I will definitely try heading down to yallingup or geography bay.

thanks,
