Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:0 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.

Tide Coefficient at 09:27 am is 114
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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Albany

Albany sits on a productive stretch of Southern Ocean coastline, with King George Sound, Princess Royal Harbour and nearby coastal beaches all delivering reliable fishing. The mix of sheltered estuary-style water and exposed ocean means you can usually find somewhere fishable regardless of swell or wind. Planning revolves around matching your target species to Albany’s strong seasonal patterns and varied habitat.

In autumn and winter, Australian salmon dominate the surf gutters along Middleton Beach, Nanarup, Cheynes, Gull Rock and the broader south coast. Look for milky green water and working birds, then cast metal slugs, stickbaits or pilchard baits into the whitewater. A long rod, 20–30 lb braid and a 30–40 lb leader help manage powerful fish in heavy shore break. Dawn, dusk and overcast days produce the most consistent salmon action.

Spring and summer favour King George whiting, squid and inshore reef species across King George Sound and around Emu Point. Drift sand patches adjacent to weed beds for whiting using light 4–8 lb gear, small long-shank hooks and baits like squid strip, pipi or coral prawn. For squid, work the same weed edges with 2.5–3.5 size jigs in natural colours on bright days and darker, high-contrast patterns in low light. Slow, erratic hops with pauses are critical in the clear Albany water.

Boat anglers find excellent reef fishing on broken ground and lumps off Bald Head, Breaksea Island and the wider shelf. Pink snapper, queensnapper, dhufish, harlequin fish and Samson fish hold on hard bottom with good current. Use your sounder to locate bait and structure rather than relying on marks alone. Slow-pitch jigs, soft plastics on 1–2 oz jigheads and paternoster rigs baited with squid, mulies or local cut bait all work well. Downsizing leaders and sinkers in calm, clear conditions often increases bites.

Summer and early autumn also bring pelagic opportunities. Trolling deep-diving hardbodies, skirts and metal stickbaits along current lines and reef edges can turn up southern bluefin tuna, snook and the odd yellowtail kingfish. Keep a casting outfit rigged with a metal slug or stickbait to quickly reach surface bust-ups when birds suddenly start working.

Inside Princess Royal Harbour and the Kalgan River, focus on black bream, flathead and mulloway. Bream respond well to lightly weighted soft plastics, small hardbodies and baits like prawn or mullet strip pitched tight to structure, pontoons and rock walls. Flathead lie on sandy edges and drop-offs; slowly hop paddle-tail plastics or fish strip baits along the bottom. Mulloway are a more deliberate target—fish the deeper holes and channel edges at night with large live or fresh baits, paying attention to tide changes.

Land-based anglers have numerous rock and headland options around Albany. Platforms near Salmon Holes, Cable Beach and further east produce tailor, skippy, salmon, pink snapper and sharks when swell allows. Use solid footwear, long gaffs and fish only in safe conditions, casting whole baits or metals into the wash lines. A berley trail of crushed pilchards and pellets can pull skippy, herring and garfish close enough for light gear sport and great table fish.

Success in Albany comes from reading water and adapting quickly: chase salmon on moving schools during the cooler months, work shallow sand and weed for whiting and squid in the warmer season, and exploit calm windows to push wider for reef and pelagic species. With careful attention to weather, tide and structure, the region can produce quality fish on almost any day of the year.

The Best Fishing Spots around Albany

Emu Point

Sheltered channels and weed beds at Emu Point hold herring, sand whiting, and reliable squid, with seasonal runs of Australian salmon and tailor along the outer beaches; easy shore access and nearby ramps make it a go-to spot, and boats can push toward Oyster Harbour or King George Sound for broader options.

Middleton Beach

Albany’s city beach produces autumn Australian salmon during the run, plus year‑round herring, whiting, and occasional tailor; the sand gutters near Ellen Cove and the reefy patches toward Emu Point make it a perennial favorite for easy-access bait or lure fishing.

Princess Royal Harbour

The expansive, sheltered harbour fishes well for King George whiting, squid, and herring, with black bream in the edges and occasional mulloway; boaters work the sand patches and weed lines while shore anglers target structure around town, with quick passages into King George Sound when conditions allow.

Oyster Harbour

This estuarine harbour fishes consistently for black bream along drop-offs and structure, King George whiting and squid over weed and sand, plus occasional mulloway near channels; shore access is plentiful around Emu Point while small boats drift the flats and channels connecting to Kalgan River.

Frenchman Bay

A scenic, relatively sheltered bay popular for land-based and small-boat fishing, with productive weed beds yielding squid, herring, and King George whiting, and autumn runs of Australian salmon along nearby beaches; it’s a handy alternative when swell affects Salmon Holes or the outer King George Sound.

King George Sound

The open waters of King George Sound suit boat anglers targeting King George whiting, squid, and pelagic visitors like salmon, with reef edges and sand patches producing on drift or anchor; crews commonly launch from Princess Royal Harbour or Emu Point and adjust to wind and swell windows.

Nanarup Beach

Long surf gutters at Nanarup are renowned for the autumn Australian salmon run, with by-catch of herring, tailor, and skippy; spinning metals and pilchard baits are staples here, and many anglers combine sessions with nearby Gull Rock Beach or Little Beach to follow schools.

Kalgan River

Flowing into Oyster Harbour, the Kalgan is a classic estuary system for black bream on lures and baits around snags and rock bars, with flathead on the lower flats and occasional mulloway near deeper bends; small boats and kayaks explore upstream while shore anglers work accessible banks and jetties.

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 2 wharf(s) in this area.

Town Jetty (historical) - 0.48348006197km , Railway Jetty (historical) - 1.91170013997km

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 13 beaches and bays in this area.
