East Perth

My friend was telling me that fishing has been good around East Perth, so we went down there today after having lunch at a yum cha restaurant at Northbridge.

We found a stretch of the water where the bottom was very rocky with the steep drop offs running along the bank. Fishes were holding tightly against the edge of the drop offs which were only 1 m off the bank.



The water was constantly being disturbed because of passing boats and jet skies, and breams were probably there waiting bait fishes to be helplessly tumbled around by the waves.

At the end I landed one and got broken off once while my friends were catching 3 or 4 fish each, which was a fine result for being on a new water, I guess.



友達からの情報では、East Perthの周りでクロダイが釣れているとの事なので、今日は、スワンリバーへ釣りに。

岩場の多いポイントで、魚は岸から１m程の落ち込みに着いていました。岩に根がかりするのを避けて深い場所へキャストすると当たりが遠くなり、フライを岸と平行に落ち込みの上を泳がしてあげるのが良かった様です。

A chunk of concrete looked like a frog trying to come out of the water
