Fishing In Fremantle

[PPSGT]

Hi Raiders,

Had a "work" trip this week to Perth and went fishing in Fremantle of the rocks during my lunch break.

After 20 puffer fish (and many double headers) i caught 3 Tommy Ruffs, enough for lunch. There were heaps there

except the puffer fish were lightning fast

Has anyone caught Tommy Ruffs in Sydney? I dont think they come up this far north, but we get snook here sometimes

so you never know...

Have planned more Perth "work" trips in Nov & Jan, which happens to be right in the middle of the Samson fish season

I picked out two charters after speaking with the local tackle shops,

and also going to go out on my brother in laws 25 footer whilst i am there.

Can't wait to put the Saragossa onto something that might break it.

I spoke with a guy over dinner who'd caught a 50kg last year (and had the pic to prove it)

Ah that takes me back. I grew up in Rockingham (WA) about 1/2hr drive south of Freo. As a kid I would spend all day on one of the various jetties jutting out into Cockburn Sound catching Tommy Ruff (we used to call them Herring). You can catch them on almost anything, hot chips, tinned corn, ciggi butts (I now ensure all my butts go in the bin) bread etc... Not bad fried in a little butter.
