Why you should join Recfishwest.

Fishing as we know it may not be there except for the time and effort of groups like Recfishwest.

Recfishwest is looking after YOUR Western Australian recreational fishing future.

You need Recfishwest to look after your recreational fishing interests. Who else has the time, the knowledge, the professional approach, the realistic alternatives, the willingness and the contacts?

Recfishwest needs YOUR support. We would really like you to become a member, get involved and help us.

You are the ones who will benefit when Recfishwest succeeds, or you will lose out when Recfishwest is ignored.

While we don't win all the time, we do make a big difference and we work very hard across a wide range of issues right around Western Australia.

If you ask what you can do for fishing in Western Australia, then the answer is Recfishwest.

Tell us what you think about the information on this website and ask us to explain anything you would like explained.

Recfishwest promotes and participates in fisheries management to ensure the sustainability and conservation of fish species and their habitat. Without those, recreational fishing would not be possible.

For just a small amount, you can help to make sure that YOUR peak body can continue, you can vote for people to represent you on the Recfishwest Board, you will get media releases and bulletins advising about activities affecting recreational fishing and you will be asked for your opinions on these, and you can nominate to become a Board Member of Recfishwest

What Recfishwest is doing for you.

Everything Recfishwest does is aimed at the things enjoyable and successful recreational fishing depends on, such as:-

• Healthy stocks of fish of all species, sizes and ages
  
  
• Good environmental conditions so fish can survive and breed successfully
  
  
• Recognition by everyone that regardless of what has been done before, the fish stocks always belong to the whole community, not just to any one group, and the community should decide how those fish are used and shared. Leading to:-
  
  
• Recreational fishing having a guaranteed share of the fish which can be caught sustainably, sharing with commercial and other needs.
  
  
• Reasonable and practical fishing rules which balance the enjoyment of fishing with the need to manage and share the catch and preserve the fish stocks.
  
  
• Access to fishing spots, without unnecessary restrictions or closures which don't make sense.
