Did you know you can purchase bait in completely biodegradable packaging?!

Mendolia Seafoods with the support of Recfishwest have taken a huge step toward plastic free fishing, with the launch of a new burley and bait product.

The packaging for the new product, named the ‘Burley Brick’, is made from biodegradable cardboard and is filled with locally sourced fish (sardine) products, making the entire product plastic free!

We are always looking for new innovative ways to improve fishing practices, and this product moves us in the right direction but more importantly reduces plastic waste.

Bring the whole family down to this year's Swanfish event - the family friendly fishing event held on the banks of our iconic Swan River.

Swanfish
Held on the banks of the Swan and Canning Rivers,, Swanfish is Perth’s premier family friendly fishing event.
The event features all our favourite fish species including herring, whiting, bream and flathead and encourages everyone to sample the excellent fishing on offer in our iconic Swan River.

It is a ‘catch, click and release’ event where participants take a picture of their catch showing the size, and submit their catches via a Smartphone App before releasing the fish back into the river.

The event runs over two days with presentations held at Garvey Park in Ascot on the final day.

With lots of great prizes and raffles, including a lucky door prize, everyone is bound to go home with something!

• BBQ breakfast/morning tea (9:30am start)
• Children’s casting challenge
