The abalone season has opened across Perth's beaches.
Despite the best attempts by Fisheries officers, a keen crowd of recreational abalone fishers started the season five minutes early at Mettams Pool north of Trigg Beach.
Conditions were relatively calm despite an earlier forecast of strong winds and swells of up to three metres.More than one hundred people turned for the first catch of abalone.
The season opens for one hour each Sunday morning, between 7 and 8 o'clock, for six weeks.
