RECFISHWEST says it’s delighted to announce the Recreational Fishing Initiatives Fund-funded celebration of the iconic West Aussie salmon is back, including the three-month long, free-to-enter Salmon Slam 2021 fishing comp and the Albany Salmon Spectacular fishing extravaganza over the Easter weekend.
Reports indicate the salmon are already moving in schools around Esperance with a couple of schools spotted east of Albany and even near Denmark too – although these might be “residential” schools.
The Salmon Slam 2021 kicked off on Monday, 1 March, with a heap of great fishing prizes up for grabs, with a top prize of a dinghy, outboard motor and trailer combination valued at $9,000.
The mighty West Aussie salmon provides safe, accessible fishing off some of the world’s best beaches. An economic study released last year with WA Premier Mark McGowan revealed that anglers spend $331 million a year on salmon fishing – a significant annual injection to the state’s economy.
