    Nice fishing in the early morning

    Was a good fishing trip. Caught any dhufish, unfortunately a little bit to small but good bites as well. Was a pleasure Dave.

About Dhufish fishing

Size

Food Value
Excellent
Game Quality
Good

Dhufish fishing targets one of Western Australia’s most loved Groundfish. Anglers prize Dhufish for their firm, tasty fillets and strong, determined fights near rugged structure. They hold close to reefs and rock ledges, so every bite feels earned.

Most crews target Dhufish by bottom fishing over reef, rubble, and wrecks. Use medium to heavy tackle, braided main line, and a tough leader. Natural baits like squid, octopus, or fish strips work very well. Slow-pitch and knife jigs also tempt bigger fish when worked close to the bottom.

Expect a patient, methodical day focused on finding structure and reading the sounder. The bite can be subtle, followed by short, heavy runs. This suits anglers who enjoy steady bottom action and careful presentation. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and non-slip shoes. Pack layers and seasickness remedies if the forecast calls for swell. Your crew will help with rigging, handling, and icing your catch where allowed.

Regulations for Dhufish can be strict and change during the year. Before your trip, check local rules for licenses, permits, open seasons, and harvest limits. Some areas enforce closures for demersal species, and a descending device may be required for deep releases. Always follow current laws and practice responsible fish care.
