Recfishwest Fish and Survive ambassador and avid rock fisher Chris Dixon is encouraging all fishers to have fun but stay safe when fishing along the Quobba Coast.
The popular fishing YouTuber has spent years fishing the popular stretch of coastline, landing everything from Spanish mackerel and spangled emperor to tuna and cobia.
And while he knows just how great the fishing can be, Chris also understands how quickly conditions can change, with large swells and lack of preparation placing fishers at serious risk.
“While it’s amazing fishing, this place can be dangerous, and there’s numerous plaques up and down the coast where people have tragically lost their lives fishing here,” Chris said, whose YouTube Channel Dixon’s Fishing regularly features him rock fishing around the State.
“The King Waves kill sign isn’t just a tourist attraction. It should be taken as a bit of a warning and remind people that this coastline is dangerous and has claimed lives in the past.”
Chris features in this video, sharing advice and raising awareness to help anglers stay safe when fishing from the rocks at Quobba, Gnaraloo, Steep Point, and other popular Gascoyne locations.
