Took me a while to work it out too being from WA.
Minimum Size 50cm in metro area. 41cm rest of the state.

Cheers gents. Cobia are thick that time of the year as the whales are moving through. Had a few come within 10m of the boat for a look. About 20 odd cobia were released to cause more tangles and gear failures next year. Big Trevally are avoided where possible to save on chiropractor bills. Some pics...

I was in the 6.2 Vagabond pictured first in the pic. I've done a few trips up there now and your right Deathray, I'm finding the move from Perth very difficult fishing wise. For me Pearl then Goldban then Reds. Cobia went a little over 13kgs and the big red went 9kg's All fillets were divided up bet...

Gippy lakes is pretty good for breamin. I'd go a 7' 1-3kg stick with a 2004 daiwa reel (or shimano 1000). 8lb braid, 4 and 6lb fc leader. A few hardbodies (bibbed minnows, błades, vibes, cranka crabs) some soft plastics (squidgy wrigglers). If you want a bit heavier general estuary combo them a 250...

I've got a couple of rolls.
As good as anything else I've used.

I guess I'm going to need to put some "30" stickers over my "35" Johnno.

I haven't chased them here but it is common for there to be a few wand wavers playing on the flats on the Swan river (WA).
They will pretty much take anything you can get in front of thier face but weighted Clousters are common.
