hookerbruce Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Decided to take advantage of the good conditions today and headed to the river to try my luck. Found a nipper flat I could access from the shore. Pumped some nippers and started fishing, few throwback whiting and flathead then landed a 40cm flathead. Over the next 2 hours landed a steady stream of whiting about 1 in 4 legal. Also kept 3 flathead to 54cm. Really good session with a bite almost every throw. The wind was behind me which made casting easy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 YUM......... Great effort there. Live and fresh bait is by far the best way to fish IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Great effort - pumping nippers is almost as much fun as pulling in the fish, but fish are better to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Good work there Bruce. You are still moving around a bit, do you have restless legs from the trip to W.A. and N.T.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomispro Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 sorry I know this is an old post, I'm headed up to south west rocks next week. My first time to SWR and I've read the fishing can be pretty amazing there. I'll be staying at the trial bay campground. Where would I be able to get hold of some nippers?

hookerbruce Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 At SWRocks if you take the road to the new entrance where you cross the little one way bridge you can get nippers on the flats at low tide, also worth a cast as the tide starts coming in. Watch out for the sand flies. Also can walk up from the main boat ramp and pump nippers and fish the mouth of spencers creek where it meets the river.(again at lower tide) I intend to chase blackfish in the main river at some stage over this weekend.
