Beach Weed

Hey you lot :) Old eastern coast fisho here just getting back into the scene here in WA. I live NOR and have taken a few trips out to beaches Mindarie up to Seabird but have always encountered weedy conditions which made fishing impossible. Whats the go with it ? Is it a seasonal thing or permanent fixture ?

Just come back from a fraser Island Tailor trip and was mightily impressed (first time I've been).

 

Cheers.

 most time you find that we seem to get alot of weed after storms and heavy rain. as you will know the bottom gets stired up and the weed comes in.its good fishing sfter storms but the downfall is finding places without weed. good luck i live up north of the river and find the weed to be not much of a problem for most of the year. happy fishing.

sor - swell equals weed on exposed beachies. get clear patches but usually takes a high tide or two and a period of low swell to clear. Madora bay ok at the moment. Good looking high tide gutters at northern end at the moment....

Hey Baders I fish Seabird a lot and it's choked at the moment. It's definately seasonal this is the worst time of year for it. Come Early December it will start to clear up and you'll be able to fish fairly easily through the summer.

Was there today, beaches looked good for a fish. River also opened last night so might stir up a few fish.
