The club holds fishing field days usually held on the weekend following the general meeting. Locations for the
fishing field days range from Kalbarri in the north to Esperance on the south coast and include Rottnest, plus all points in
between. Usually the field days further from Perth are held over a long weekend.
A local Perth metropolitan area field day is held each month for members who are unable to attend the trip away. Local field
days are run every month, except when the main venue is and "Open", which means anywhere in WA Tidal Waters where everyone
is allowed to fish.
Local boundaries are from Penguin Island to Two Rocks, including the Swan River, so includes both the North and South Moles
at Fremantle and all the top surf, beach, reef, jetty, rock and rock wall fishing spots in the metropolitan area.
Some members make up a group of members and friends and go fishing locally for a few hours when they can get away between
the fishing start time on Saturday and the weigh in time on the Sunday or the Monday for a long weekend fishing field day.
This is a great way to be involved even when you can't spare all the time for a trip away. There have been some great fish
caught by people who have had only a few hours to spare from the other things they have to fit into their lives.
All the venues for the current competition year's Field Days are listed in
