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 on the jetty deck 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?

Estuary cobbler carry a 430 mm minimum and a daily bag of 8 (shared with catfish), with no closed season — verify current DPIRD rules before keeping any. Handle with care if releasing; the dorsal and pectoral spines deliver a painful sting.
