Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust.

No slipway shows in mapping, so anything that floats goes in by hand. Rules differ across the county line, so check which set covers you.

Question 6

Can you fish Mount Hope Bay?

Accepted Answer

The access position is unclear from public sources. Gates can be locked out of season, so check before you travel. If the wind ruins one, the next may be sheltered.
