When does crab season open at Deep Water Point?

The Swan-Canning crab season is set by DPIRD; the typical opening is December 1. Always check current rules before setting nets — minimum size is 127 mm across the carapace and bag limits apply.

Is Deep Water Point good for kids fishing?

Yes — sealed paths, jetty, BBQs, playground, public toilets and a productive light-tackle fishery make it one of the better family spots on the Canning. Adult supervision around the jetty's old timber boards is sensible.

Where exactly is the drop-off at Deep Water Point?

Right in front of the jetty — the river depth changes hard from shallow flats to the main channel within a few metres of the jetty edge. That's the feeding line for bream and flathead. Walk the flats at low water and you'll see exactly where it falls away.

Can I keep cobbler from Deep Water Point?

Cobbler are subject to specific Swan-Canning size and bag limits (minimum 430 mm, daily bag 8) and periodic seasonal closures — verify current DPIRD rules before keeping any. Handle with care if releasing; the dorsal and pectoral spines deliver a painful sting.
