Since May this year, Western Angler editor Scott Coghlan has taken Recfishwest members to some of the best fishing locations WA has to offer in his incredibly popular weekly column — Scott’s Spots.
From the remote Rowley Shoals, situated about 260km west of Broome on the north-western Australian coast, to the Kalgan River near Albany in the State’s south, Scott’s Spots has explored the many amazing fishing opportunities across the State.
Delving into his personal fishing experiences and knowledge, the Scott’s Spots series provided an expert overview of some of WA’s most iconic fishing locations and some of those less well known ones off the beaten track.
