Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:6 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.

Next Full Moon in ~14 days on 30th June
New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    364,387 km
    Proximity:
    97 %
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.

Tide Coefficient at 09:54 am is 109
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 Perth

Seasonal patterns — Perth fishing follows clear seasonal rhythms. Summer (Dec–Feb) fires up pelagic action: bonito, Australian salmon and small tuna work the coastline and nearshore reefs, with weather-stable mornings producing topwater strikes. Autumn (Mar–May) is a prime transition for snapper and dhufish as bait moves on and water cools; cleaner seas make reef fishing productive. Winter (Jun–Aug) pushes species like tailor, mulloway and whiting into estuaries and beach gutters as bait concentrates in tidal channels. Spring (Sep–Nov) ramps up spawning movements for many reef and estuary species, increasing receptiveness to lures and fresh baits around structure and points.

Habitat types — Perth offers diverse marks: the urban Swan River and coastal estuaries hold bream, whiting and flathead along mangrove fringes, sandbanks and drop-offs. Rocky headlands, groynes and the Fremantle and Hillarys jetties produce tailor, samson and trevally. Offshore reefs around Rottnest and Gage Roads host snapper, dhufish and kingfish, while the continental shelf and bluewater beyond yield mackerel and larger pelagic species. Sandy beaches and surf gutters are top for whiting, tailor and herring, whereas deeper reef ledges are go-to for reef predators.

Common techniques — Match your approach to the water. Estuary bream and whiting respond to light soft plastics on 1–3kg rods or simple running sinker rigs with small hooks and natural baits like prawns and worms. Beach and surf anglers use heavier rods with 50–100g sinkers, running metal slugs, strip baits or surface poppers for tailor and salmon. For structure and reefs, vertical jigging, slow pitch metal jigs and live baiting produce snapper and dhufish; use 20–40lb braid with a quality fluorocarbon leader for abrasion resistance. For pelagics, fast-retrieve stickbaits, small poppers and metal slugs cast or trolled at dawn and dusk are consistently effective.

Tactical tips — Read tides and bait: early flood into structure and the hour after tide change are often the most productive. Inshore currents and weed lines concentrate baitfish and draw predators; drift slowly across reef edges and hollows with live or sticky baits. When targeting bottom-hugging dhufish or snapper, fish slowly with scented soft plastics or live pike/garfish, and consider a fish-finder to locate hard structure. For estuary mulloway, night sessions using big soft plastics, surface blades or whole pilchards can trigger explosive strikes. Use berley sparingly around jetties to attract species without spooking wary fish.

  • Use lighter leaders and smaller profiles for estuary species, heavier setups for reef and offshore targets.
  • Switch between natural baits and lures if bite is slow — pilchards, squid strips and prawns are hard to beat.
  • Scout weather and swell; calm mornings often mean clearer water and different presentation requirements than rough conditions.
  • Keep a range of jig sizes (40–150g) and soft plastics to cover depths from gutters to 40+ metres.

Perth rewards anglers who read tides, adapt presentations to structure and carry a mixed tackle box for estuary, beach and reef situations. Learn local spots around Fremantle, Scarborough, Hillarys and Rottnest, watch bait movement and vary retrieves to consistently connect with the best species Western Australia has to offer.

The Best Fishing Spots around Perth

Swan River

Perth’s iconic river fishes year-round, with black bream, flathead, tailor, mulloway, and blue swimmer crabs in the lower estuary, and yellowfin whiting and freshwater species further upstream; autumn often sees tailor working the edges, while summer prawns and crabs draw night activity around lit structure near Fremantle Harbour and Matilda Bay.

Hillarys Boat Harbour

Sheltered rock walls and jetties produce herring, tailor, skippy (trevally), squid, and whiting, while boats heading outside tap into reef species and seasonal pelagics; evenings around the lights can be especially productive, and nearby Mindarie Marina fishes similarly during the cooler months.

Cottesloe Beach

A classic metro surf beach known for tailor at dawn and dusk, herring and whiting along the gutters, and an autumn run of Australian salmon moving through the breaks; calmer summer mornings suit light tackle while winter swells often bring baitfish tight to shore like at Trigg Beach.

Fremantle Harbour

The working port and surrounding structure attract tailor, herring, squid, and skippy, with deeper channels holding mulloway after dark; boaters move between the river mouth and ocean while shore anglers target eddies and lighted areas near the bridges and North Mole.

North Mole

Perth’s most famous rock wall for spinning tailor and seasonal Australian salmon, plus squid, herring, and occasional bonito; the ocean side fishes in swell and sea breezes while the inner side offers shelter, with complementary access at South Mole and nearby Fremantle Harbour.

Woodman Point

Rocky points and beaches deliver tailor, herring, snook, and squid, while boats work the inshore reefs for pink snapper after weather changes; calmer mornings suit light tackle for whiting, and the point provides good casting platforms compared with nearby Cockburn Sound shores.

Rottnest Island

A premier metro island with shore and boat access to reef fish, squid, and seasonal pelagics; boats target pink snapper, dhufish, samson fish, and summer tuna runs, while shore spinning for tailor and salmon peaks in autumn around the west end and platforms facing Fremantle.

Trigg Beach

A surf hotspot that fishes well for tailor at change-of-light, herring and sand whiting in the inner gutters, and a strong autumn salmon passage; when swell eases, metal lures and baits cover ground similar to nearby Cottesloe Beach and the reefs north toward Hillarys Boat Harbour.

South Mole

Complementing the North Mole, this breakwater yields herring, tailor, squid, and passing salmon, with calmer inner-water options when ocean swell is up; evenings around light lines can be productive, and mobile anglers often rotate between Fremantle Harbour and North Mole.

Matilda Bay

A sheltered Swan River bay popular for family-friendly sessions on black bream, flathead, tailor, and seasonal blue swimmer crabs; warm months suit wading the flats with lures, and evenings near lights draw baitfish like elsewhere along the Swan River foreshore.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Perth 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 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Applecross Jetty - 6.4134366106km

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 8 beaches and bays in this area.
