Fishing Western Australia Snapper Season 2019 – What to Expect?

Snapper Season is about to get underway in Western Australia. December is when everyone here goes out fishing for Snappers – nothing quite like having a Snapper for Christmas.

When does the Snapper Season Start in Western Australia?

The Snapper Season here in WA starts on December 16 every year. This is just after the official seasonal closure from October 15 to December 15, when fishing is closed to the public. This is mainly to protect the spawning Snapper.
The Snapper Season goes on from December 16 through to March 15, and then from June to September.
There is a lot of concern about the dwindling numbers of the Pink Snapper here in WA; that is why responsible fishing is so important. This means never going out fishing in the middle of the Snapper breeding season and not going all out crazy when you start fishing. Take your share, be responsible, and move out.

Facts About the Pink Snapper of Western Australia

The Pink Snapper weights 8 to 12 kg. He is a big fish for sure. The biggest pink snapper caught in Western Australia weighed 16 kg.
Big snappers generally pop up in shallow inshore reefs. You can look for snappers across the southern coastline of Australia and up to the Montebello Islands.
Snappers can be found in deep waters during the summer in great numbers. But these tend to be juvenile fish, which weigh in the 4 kilo range. If you want to catch the big snappers, which weigh 8 kg or more, then you will have to make your way to the shallow inshore reefs.
The thing about Snappers is that they are highly predictable. You know exactly what they are up to and where they are going to aggregate – or at least you will after a year or so of recreational fishing.
