The long beaches of Western Australia make surf fishing available to everyone, the hot summers encourage thousands of people to the beaches at dawn and dusk when the best fish are caught. I believe that no fish is too big to be landed on rod and reel from the shore, provided you will use Alvey reel and right fishing rod.

This is the fish you will catch most from the beaches: Tommy Ruff, and Tailor

Tommy Ruff Tailor alse known as Choppers and Blue-Fish. If you fishing from beach you will need a surf rod, a casting reel and a line about 7kg.
