Fishing Overview for Currie Beach

The town beach offers convenient surf gutters and reefy patches that hold Australian salmon, sand flathead, and gummy shark after dark. Metal slices and pilchard rigs cover the salmon schools, while paternoster rigs with squid strips tempt flathead in the deeper pockets. Late summer and early autumn see increased baitfish activity close to shore, drawing in predators on a rising tide.

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 9:23 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.

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 Currie

Currie, the main township on King Island’s west coast, sits in the middle of some of the most productive ocean in southern Australia. The combination of reef, sand and broken ground, plus constant swell and current, creates prime feeding zones for Australian salmon, King George whiting, flathead and a mix of reef and pelagic species. Land-based anglers work the harbour walls, rocky points and surf beaches, while boaties tap into offshore reefs and inshore sand patches just a short run from the ramp.

Seasonally, fishing around Currie follows distinct patterns. Late spring through early autumn is peak time for surface-feeding Australian salmon, yellowtail kingfish and the chance of tuna and barracouta when bait schools push in close. Warm months also see reliable King George whiting and garfish on the shallow sand and weed beds. Through winter, salmon still school along the surf beaches and headlands, while gummy shark and school shark become a key target on deeper sand and channels, and flathead fishing remains strong year-round on the softer bottom.

Habitat variety is the key to success. The Currie Harbour area, rock walls and adjacent headlands offer sheltered fishing for salmon, trevally, squid and smaller reef species when the west-coast swell is up. Surf beaches within a short drive of town hold salmon, tailor-like couta and occasional sharks in the deeper gutters. Offshore, patchy reef and rubble in 10–40 m hosts snapper, blue morwong, rock flathead, trumpeter and mixed reef fish, while sand holes between reef patches are classic whiting territory.

Practical techniques around Currie are straightforward but benefit from local refinement. For beach and rock Australian salmon, a 9–12 ft surf rod with a 4000–6000 size reel spooled with 20–30 lb braid and a 20–25 lb leader is ideal. Metal slugs from 25–60 g, fast-retrieved, draw strikes when fish are on top; when they’re deeper or fussy, switch to a paternoster with surf popper and bait (pilchard or bluebait). Berley lightly if conditions allow to keep schools in front of you.

Targeting King George whiting and flathead inshore, drift or anchor over sand and weed in 4–15 m. Use a light 2–4 kg spin outfit, 6–10 lb leader and long-shank size 4–6 hooks with pipi, squid strip or clam baits. Keep sinkers just heavy enough to hold bottom and maintain frequent short drifts to locate fish concentrations. Once bites start, mark the drift line on your GPS and repeat passes from the same angle.

For gummy shark and school shark, fish evening or tide changes over clean sand in 15–40 m. A sturdy 15–24 kg rod, 40–50 lb mainline and 60–80 lb mono trace with 6/0–8/0 circle hooks works well. Present fresh fillet baits from salmon, trevally or squid on running sinker rigs, and set rods in solid holders with a modest drag. Avoid constant striking; let circle hooks load up as the rod folds.

Squid and inshore reef species are readily available near Currie on calmer days. Squid respond to 2.5–3.5 size jigs worked over weed edges at dawn and dusk, while wrasse, leatherjacket and smaller reef fish fall to simple paternoster rigs with squid or prawn baits. Always watch swell, wind and tide closely around rock platforms and harbour entrances; the exposed west-coast weather demands conservative decisions, but when conditions align, Currie delivers consistent, high-quality saltwater fishing.

The Best Fishing Spots around Currie

Currie Harbour

Sheltered and central to town, Currie Harbour is a reliable spot for Australian salmon, southern calamari, silver trevally, and sand flathead. Boats work bait edges and drop-offs for flathead and trevally, while the inside walls and rock edges fish well for squid on calm evenings. Autumn–spring salmon schools move through Bass Strait and often push into the harbour, with summer bringing more whiting and squid activity.

Currie Beach

The town beach offers convenient surf gutters and reefy patches that hold Australian salmon, sand flathead, and gummy shark after dark. Metal slices and pilchard rigs cover the salmon schools, while paternoster rigs with squid strips tempt flathead in the deeper pockets. Late summer and early autumn see increased baitfish activity close to shore, drawing in predators on a rising tide.

British Admiral Beach

Named for the historic wreck, this west coast beach just north of town has classic Bass Strait surf gutters for Australian salmon, gummy shark (after dark), and roaming silver trevally. Long casts with metals or pilchards find salmon through most of the year, with peak schools in the cooler months. Calm spells and small swells let you probe the edges for flathead sitting in the sandy pockets between reef.

Sea Elephant Bay

Stretching along the east coast near Naracoopa, Sea Elephant Bay offers sheltered beaches and inshore sand flats that hold sand flathead, King George whiting, and southern calamari. Boat drifts over the flats with light tackle are productive, while shore anglers can wade the edges on a flooding tide for whiting and squid in clear conditions. Summer and early autumn are prime for whiting and calm-water squid.

Cape Wickham

The island’s iconic northern tip beneath the lighthouse offers rock-ledges and points where currents concentrate bait, drawing Australian salmon, silver trevally, and in settled summer weather the odd yellowtail kingfish. Metal lures and stickbaits cover the washes, while baits sunk into deeper pockets pick up trevally and wrasse. Best fished in lighter swell windows, with dawn and dusk changes bringing fish tight to the stones.

Disappointment Bay

North of Cape Wickham, this expansive west-facing bay is renowned for powerful gutters that hold big schools of Australian salmon and nocturnal gummy shark. Long casts with metal slices or pilchard ganged rigs find salmon along the edges of the rips, while fresh fish or squid baits after dark tempt gummies on the sand. Cooler months see the most consistent salmon action along the beach.

Phoques Bay

A broad west coast bay north of Currie, Phoques Bay offers beach and small-boat opportunities for Australian salmon, sand flathead, and silver trevally. Work the surf gutters on a rising tide for salmon, or drift just offshore over sand patches for flathead. Stable high-pressure periods with light winds deliver clear water that also suits squid around nearby reefy fringes.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Currie area

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 18 beaches and bays in this area.
