What's this WA fishing day on sunday i hear of?
Apparently you can boat fish without a license after the ban? Sounds like a tall story is there any truth in it?

For real
You don't get much news where you are? Same as last year. They extend the ban for the national gone fishing day. Some state governments think it's actually a good thing to encourage the sport of fishing! Although the WA gummint doesn't accept it's a sport.

The only day before December that you can catch a Dhuie and a crayfish at the same time.

From the last comment on
From the last comment on the Media Release:
"Recreational fishing is one of WA's treasured pastimes and the McGowan Government wants more people in the community to enjoy the pleasure of casting a line.
"National Gone Fishing Day, which is also a special licence-free day, is the perfect time for those who haven't tried fishing before to get a taste of the experience.
"There are plenty of events scheduled around WA for the day, so grab the family, take a mate or simply just take time out for yourself and enjoy a day of fishing for free."
Now I'm already getting called a "grumpy old Fisherman", however what is 'Free" about this: I've got to pay a Annual Fishing Licence,then State Goverment Fee/Licence for boat and trailer.
Ok- I'm off to take my "happy pills".....It's free, yippee I aye! lol
My Dad taught me how to Fish-Thanks Dad.(RIP)
