Western Angler – April/May 2018

The April-May 2018 edition of WA's only fishing magazine, Western Angler, is out now and it's got plenty of essential reading on fishing around WA and beyond.
In the southern half of the State it is salmon season and WAngler has all the guidance you need to make the most of this magical annual fishing event.
We look at the best beaches in WA for salmon fishing, tips for surf fishing and even look back at their remarkable appearance in Exmouth Gulf last year.
In the second part of his expose on pink snapper fishing in Perth, Robbie Riches looks at the technical tips which can guarantee snapper success.
Exmouth local Ben Knaggs looks at how to stop big GTs in skinny water, while Mark Davis captures the essence of the emerging Pilbara fishery for blue bastards in a pictorial feature.
There are also some timely tips for rock fishing safety from Isaac Tancred.
As always, there's also plenty of great columns full of information.
We look at the significance of WA's first grander marlin, Peter Anderton investigates rods for casting stickbaits, Darryl Hitchen tries out a new tinnie and John Bormolini offers his thoughts on the basics of offroad tyre selection.
There's a great recipe for crab salad too!
All that and more is in the new edition of Western Angler.
Established in 1985, Western Angler is the benchmark for regional fishing magazines in Australia.
