Recfishwest Polls

Recfishwest conducts regular online polls to gain the views of recreational fishers on various issues affecting fishing in WA. The results of these polls are often used to help Recfishwest develop a position or course of action on particular matters. These issues may include such things as changes to fishing rules, management priorities, marine park planning, conservation and fishing behaviour.

Past Results

Question 2 (October - December 2010)

Do you believe that recreational Boat Skippers should be subject to random breath and drug tests?
