Looking for some advice on bull shark fishing in the swan
Submitted by Mayfly on Mon, 2016-01-11 00:41
I'm looking to catch bull sharks in the swan river (prefferably around Bassendean area) and I need some advice.
Are there any locations that anyone is willing to share or is ok to just try for them anywhere? And is there a certain time to be targetting or can you get them all year around? I wouldn't mind setting up for an all night session if that's what it takes to catch one :)
Any advice and tips appreciated.

They are more prolific in
They are more prolific in summer (warmer/saltier water upstream).
I've lost a few targeting mulloway around the Causeway and Maylands area as well as Guildford on the odd occasion I go there but they will be just about anywhere in the system. Target the deeper areas/pools and you should have success.
Fish light for them, if using wire I'd personally stick to nylon coated under 100lb or use 80-100lb mono and circles, might lose a couple but also in with a shot for a mulla. As for baits live is generally best, especially grunter or boney herring, but any fresh bait should generate interest if you wait long enough.

Garvey park, fish market
Garvey park, fish market reserve and sandy beach give Them places a crack mate. Live bait is your best bet
can catch them all year round but like hutch said summer is best time
