Eagle Bay Accommodation - Fishing
 Whether it's to catch a feed, teach/entertain the kids, enjoy solitude for a couple of hours, marvel at the scenery, or experience the adrenalin rush, the joy of fishing appeals to a lot of people on one level or another.
 Those who have a taste for fresh ocean faire can enjoy catching their own in the waters of Australia's South West. Saltwater varieties such as rock lobster, abalone and blue manna crabs abound whilst freshwater marron and trout are a delight all of their own. Recreational fishing is permitted across the region, with varieties such as dhufish, baldchin groper and snapper being regularly caught offshore. Inshore varieties of fish include herring, whiting, australian salmon and tailor.
Cape Crusader Fishing Charters www.capecruisadercharters.com.au
 The Charter boat "Cape Cruisader 4" was especially designed to cater for recreational activities such as deep sea fishing, corporate family cruising and whale watching. At a total length of 12 metres with a beam of 3.7 meters "Cape Cruisader 4" provides an excellent platform for deep sea fishing and cruising functions.

Some of the fishing hotspots in the south west include:

  • 'The Cut' in Bunbury - this is certainly a very popular spot, but I've never had much luck there myself. But going by it's constant popularity, it must be good.
  • Busselton Jetty - you can't go wrong here. The jetty is 2km long, meaning that there's a whole range of fishing experiences available at all times of the year.
  • Dunsborough rocks - the series of sheltered coves and bays west of Dunsborough provide a lot of different fishing opportunities, including the famous "Salmon run" between March and May each year.
  • Harvey Dam, Pemberton, and inland fresh water rivers - the rivers of the south west let you go after the clever and elusive trout. Remember that you need a license to fish for trout.
  • Augusta - there's something for everyone around Augusta, with so many different types of fishing available.
