Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:38 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Carnarvon

Carnarvon fishing revolves around three main zones: the Gascoyne River and mangrove-lined creeks, the nearshore beaches and reef edges, and the offshore grounds spilling into Shark Bay and the Ningaloo current. Each area fishes differently across the seasons, so planning around tides, water clarity and wind is critical.

From late autumn through winter, cool, clear water along the inshore reefs and beach gutters brings pink snapper, spangled emperor, mulloway and tailor within easy casting range. Fish the early morning or dusk high tides along rock bars, groynes and the one mile jetty area with lightly weighted pilchards or mulies, or metal slugs fast‑retrieved for tailor and mackerel. A simple running sinker rig on 20–30 lb braid with 40–60 lb leader covers most bottom species around the inshore reefs.

Spring and early summer are prime for pelagics as the Leeuwin and Ningaloo currents push bait schools close to Carnarvon. Spanish mackerel, longtail tuna, cobia and trevally patrol pressure points, reef edges and drop‑offs. Troll hardbody diving lures or metal slices at 6–9 knots along current lines and colour changes, watching the sounder for bait. Switch to live baits—slimy mackerel, yakka or small trevally—slow‑trolled on wire traces when fish are shy. Drifting unweighted live baits back into the pressure side of a reef often produces the bigger mackerel and cobia.

The Gascoyne River and adjacent creeks are highly tide and rainfall dependent. After decent wet‑season flow, the lower reaches hold threadfin salmon, mulloway, mangrove jack and bream. Focus on the last two hours of the run‑in and first of the run‑out around snags, rock bars and channel bends. Vibes, soft plastics and prawn‑style lures hopped close to the bottom work well in the discoloured water, while fresh mullet or prawn baits fished on 15–20 lb gear account for larger fish. When the river runs clear and low, work the deeper holes at dawn and dusk and scale down leaders for more bites.

Offshore, boats targeting coral trout, red emperor, rankin cod and gold‑band snapper work broken ground, ledges and isolated bommies. Use your sounder to locate hard bottom in 30–80 m rather than anchoring blindly. Once you’ve marked fish, either drift with paternoster rigs and 6–8 oz sinkers or power‑drift using soft plastics and slow‑pitch jigs. Natural baits such as fresh strip baits, squid or mullet slabs consistently outfish frozen blocks. Braided mainline with a long fluorocarbon leader improves bite detection and keeps sinker sizes down in the current.

For land‑based anglers, Carnarvon’s beaches and rock platforms produce queenfish, trevally, dart, whiting and occasional giant trevally. Look for gutters and rips, particularly where sand meets scattered reef. Metal slugs, stickbaits and surface poppers worked quickly through the wash draw out queenfish and trevally; small baits of prawn or squid on light tackle tempt whiting and dart. Night sessions around the new moon often see increased mulloway and shark activity—use heavier leaders and fresh bait when specifically targeting them.

Wind is a major factor around Carnarvon, with strong afternoon sea breezes common. Plan offshore runs at first light and focus on planar drifts rather than long runs in choppy conditions. A GPS track of productive drifts, careful attention to bait quality, and tailoring your rigs to depth and current will dramatically lift your catch rates in this diverse and productive fishery.

The Best Fishing Spots around Carnarvon

Miaboolya Beach

North of town, this surf beach produces tailor, mulloway, dart and in calmer spells whiting; look for darker gutters along the bar and fish evening tides with metals or mulies, and when bait is thick you’ll often see birds working—on those days consider a run up to Point Quobba for pelagics.

Point Quobba

Near the famous Blowholes, the reef edges and points hold spangled emperor, coral trout, trevally and seasonal Spanish mackerel; lures or baits worked on the change of tide around the wash can be dynamite, and small boats can tuck into lee edges when swell allows—if the swell is up, retreat to Bush Bay for calmer options.

Pelican Point

A local favorite on the mouth-side flats for tailor, queenfish, trevally and whiting on a rising tide; wade the sand edges flicking stickbaits or small metals, and after dark soak baits for a chance at mulloway; if wind swings onshore, try the more sheltered sides of The Fascine.

Babbage Island

Accessible from town, the island’s channels and rock edges hold bream, mangrove jack, cod and roaming trevally; work structure with hardbodies or live baits on the tide turns, and boaters can prospect the outer drop-offs toward Carnarvon Small Boat Harbour when water clarity improves.

Bush Bay

A well-known camping and flats area south of Carnarvon with sheltered water for whiting, flathead, squid and occasional golden trevally; polaroid the clear shallows on neap tides or drift the weed edges by boat, and if the bite slows, hop north to New Beach or back toward The Fascine.

Cape Cuvier

This cape near the salt loading facility offers deep-water access to Spanish mackerel, tuna, cobia and hefty trevally when the current pushes close; spin heavy metals from the rocks or slow-troll hardbodies by boat along current lines, and if conditions are rough, seek leeside waters at Point Quobba.

Rocky Pool

An inland waterhole on the Gascoyne River that fishes well after flows, producing spangled perch, bony bream, catfish and seasonal cherabin; cast small spinners or bait around shaded snags at first and last light, and if levels drop, try the deeper bends downstream toward Gascoyne River crossings.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Carnarvon area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 3 wharf(s) in this area.

Barry Bickley Wharf - 1.80983992288km , Norwest Whaling Jetty - 2.66076910353km , Carnarvon Jetty - 3.85306999303km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 5 beaches and bays in this area.
