Mandurah

Went fishing and crabbing in the afternoon thru to evening on Wed. Nothing but blowies caught from the new bridge so we moved to Dawsville. Good fishing only started in the evening, Tailors/Herring and Skippys started biting at around 630pm at the Dawsville Channel but we had to leave as one of our mates had to work the night shift :). Big Blues are out, we caught 18 in an hour by dropping nets baited with chicken necks from the bridge and figured that was enough for a feed for the 4 of us, sizes were about 14cms. Small jennys were about but we threw them all back as they won't worth eating (just legal size). :)

I haven't been prawning so I don't know.

Yeah Mandurah has changed heaps thru the years!!! The canal homes are so gorgeous! It's going to be my first choice for retirement life! Fishing and crabbing from your own doorstep! The ultimate for me!
