Herrison island
Submitted by fisharoo on Sat, 2012-12-08 13:11
Hi there, planning to take my kids to Herrison island in Burswood this arvo. Haven't been there for years, but remembered there are kangaroos there. There was a protest of some sort last couple of years.
Just wondering if anyone's been there lately? And also if everything's all good there?
Thanks

Yep, think the roos are
Yep, think the roos are still there.
The "ferels" are not there from what I can see.

Good Day out
Took the kids there, had a walk around the fenced area and saw a few roos. Went to the bridge to fish for a bit, got a couple of baby bream and also a few blowies. Kids found heaps of hermit crablike things along the water edge.
Finished the day at the playground.

Don't do it man
Been there a few times in the last 6 months, caught nothing, not even blowies. Caught a dude "tagging" the bridge, lots of needles on the shore, don't know about the fish but not a good place to take the kids.

Yeh, told them not to take their shoes off and not to dig around in the sand, saw a few broken beer bottles under the bridge.

Herrison has its days.
Herrison has its days. Personally haven't caught a whole lot under the bridges, but have had some good success on the downstream part of the island, fishing into perth water, pretty much opposie the condemed swan river trust jetty. Did a few late night and early mornings there and caught some solid bream up to about 40-42cm. Used to even pull a few good size bream (up to 35cm or so) out of the lakes, before they banned fishing in them.
Must say though, the last few times ive fished there was a bit average with only a few smaller fish caught, but this was during the middle of the day.
