Guys,

Apologies for such a noob post!!

Is there some sort of ettiquette in regards to where you can and cant fish in the river?  I ask because I have done the most obvious spots to death over the last 2 months (garret rd, canning bridge, redcliffe etc etc etc) and want to venture out to the less obvious spots.

For example I went down to a spot in Claremont where a fellow FW member caught a nice looking bream in the last week.  Without giving too much away you have to waltz down various driveways, through private carparks etc etc.  I went there this morning to have a look around and felt like I was 15 again with my skateboard tucked under my arm hoping no security guards spot me!!  (I didn't live near the beach so skate boarding was the best I could do!!).  I found myself thinking if I do get my rod out of the car and start walking down to the specific spot is someone going to start running towards me shaking their arms in the air yelling and screaming telling me to bugger off?!?

Another example is the rocky side of the river (south perth side) between the cuaseway and the Swan River Trust Depot.  Not sure if it is even worth wetting the line their but I am only using it as an example.

I know that obviously yacht clubs and where there are no fishing signs are off limits but in the interest of not making a nusience of myself and ruining it for other people who know the times that they can get away with going to these spots I want to make sure I know what to expect.

Is it just a case of suck it and see?  try it and if you get told to move on then leave?  or am I just letting my skateboarding experiences ruin my fishing travels?

Have been reading FW over the last couple of months and (if you will pardon the pun) I am hooked!

Cheers.

Trevor.
