Fishing

Beach Fishing
The white sandy shores of Geographe Bay are fantastic to fish from and often reward fishermen with herring and whiting.  In season, you can also try you luck at netting some of the local crustaceans.  The famous salmon run takes place between March and May each year.

Jetty Fishing
The Busselton Jetty has long been a favourite fishing spot for locals and visitors alike to catch fish, squid and crabs.  During summer many families can be seen heading out to their favourite spot on the jetty to enjoy the cool evening air and relax with a line in hand.

Bay Fishing
The area from Meelup to Cape Naturaliste includes some lovely fishing spots.  You can fish from the beaches and bays around this area which provide a quiet retreat from the bustling city beaches.

Game Fishing
The big ones are out there!  If it is game fishing you enjoy, then book a local charter and head out into the deep waters for dhufish and snapper.If you come home empty handed, don't despair.  Busselton and Dunsborough, like all great seaside towns, have a range of fish and chip shops!

Please be aware that bag limits apply.  You can check the allowances with local bait and tackle stores or the Department of Fisheries.
