As we all cope with a changing world every day, the most important message from us this month is to keep abiding to the social distancing rules.
I would heavily urge beach goers, fishos and divers to steer clear of Boranup Beach and Kilcarnup (particularly Joey's) this Easter Long weekend.
If the State government sees an influx or large amount of people on beaches like these, they WILL shut down our beaches to not only fishing and diving - but also surfing.
Please do the right thing. If a beach has a few people already on it - go somewhere else, find another spot.
We have such a vast coastline here in our region that there is sure to be a spot where there are very few people using that beach.
We have seen a few less boats going out due to the COVID-19 restrictions, you can of course only go out on the boat with someone that you live with - not a mate or the bloke next door.

The fishing has been going off in the last few weeks, giving many of our laid off workers, unemployed crew and families with kids at home something to do.
We have seen a few less boats going out due to the COVID-19 restrictions, you can of course only go out on the boat with someone that you live with - not a mate or the bloke next door.
Maybe some of you guys out there are going to have to get your wives out there fishing with you, but beware - they may show you up and bring home the goods.
Beach fishing and diving has been epic, the salmon have been running and our usual species have been hot too.
We have all the gear for your next beach mission, and not only that, we have the knowledge to help you spear or catch a fish for dinner.
Our hours have not changed, we are open Monday to Fri 9-5pm, Saturday 10-3 and Sunday 10-1 pm.
We will of course be closed Easter Friday and Easter Monday.
I would also like to urge any boaties that are going out on their own to wear their life jackets, make sure their flares and all safety equipment is up to date and very accessible, safety first is the key to any fishing or diving trip.
Please stay safe - keep your social distances and only take what you need.
