Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:26 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 11:11 am is 103
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 Geraldton

Geraldton fishing is shaped by wind, reef and warm currents, creating a diverse inshore and offshore fishery that fishes differently with each season. Summer brings warm water, bait schools and pelagics like Spanish mackerel, tuna and cobia; autumn and early winter are prime for dhufish and pink snapper out wide; while cooler months suit tailor, mulloway, herring and whiting along the beaches and rock platforms.

Inshore and beach fishing around Geraldton focuses on tailor, mulloway, whiting and herring. Popular stretches include Tarcoola Beach, Separation Point, Point Moore and Drummond Cove. Look for deeper gutters and channels with whitewater on the outer bank, especially on a flooding tide and into dusk. Metal slices and stickbaits cast into the wash account for most tailor, with a slow to medium retrieve. For bait fishers, rig ganged pilchards or mulies on a wire or heavy mono trace for tailor, and use fresh mullet, squid or fillet baits on a running sinker rig when specifically targeting mulloway after dark.

For whiting and herring, fish the cleaner, shallower corners of beaches and inside sheltered bays. Light 1–3 kg spin outfits, small long‑shank hooks and minimal lead are key. Use worms, prawns or cut squid for whiting, and smaller strips of pilchard or squid for herring. Work the incoming tide and keep moving along the shoreline until you locate a patch of fish; once you find them, they often hold in the same gutter for several days.

Rock and platform fishing around Geraldton can be very productive but demands attention to swell and wind. Cast metals and diving minnows for tailor and pelagics at first and last light, especially where reef meets sand and creates a defined edge. Soft plastics on 3/8–1/2 oz jigheads hopped along the reef faces will pick up skippy, trevally and the odd baldchin groper from safer ledges. Always fish with a long‑handled gaff or net and a clear plan for landing fish from higher rock ledges.

Offshore, Geraldton is famous for dhufish, pink snapper and mixed reef species. Productive ground starts within a relatively short run, with broken reef, lumps and contour changes between 15–60 m holding the bulk of fish. In autumn and early winter, focus on slower drifts over hard bottom, watching your sounder for bait clouds tight to structure. Fish 30–50 lb braid with quality leaders, using paternoster rigs or heavy jigheads with large soft plastics. Dhufish often inhale soft plastics worked just off the bottom with slow lifts; pink snapper respond well to lightly weighted baits wafted down the burley trail.

Pelagics and gamefish push past Geraldton when the water warms and clears, typically from late summer into autumn. Troll deep‑diving minnows and skirted lures along reef edges, current lines and bait schools for Spanish mackerel, tuna and cobia. High‑speed metal lures cast to surface bust‑ups also produce, so keep a dedicated spin outfit ready on the deck whenever birds are working.

Estuary, harbour and sheltered waters around Geraldton provide options when the sea breeze is up. Inside the harbour and protected marina walls, anglers find herring, skippy, bream, squid and blue swimmer crabs. Light jigs with prawn‑style soft plastics or small vibes fished close to rock walls produce bream and skippy, while squid jigs worked slowly along weed beds and rock edges account for calamari and the odd cuttlefish. Drop crab nets or scoop nets in sandy channels for blue swimmer crabs during the warmer months, especially on the run‑in tide.

Wind is a constant factor in Geraldton, so plan sessions around the early morning glass‑off before the sea breeze builds. Use the breeze to your advantage by drifting offshore reefs, or tucking in behind headlands and harbor walls when it’s blowing. By aligning your approach with the season, reading the water for structure and bait, and matching tackle to species and terrain, Geraldton consistently delivers productive, varied fishing for both visiting and local anglers.

The Best Fishing Spots around Geraldton

Point Moore

Geraldton’s most iconic land‑based spot, the lighthouse point produces tailor, sand whiting, and herring from the gutters, with pelagic runs of Spanish mackerel and tuna in warm months; boats working the drop‑offs also find pink snapper and baldchin groper. The point sits between Beaches on Champion Bay and the open Indian Ocean, giving options to fish either side depending on wind and swell.

Champion Bay

The broad, sheltered arc in front of town offers accessible fishing for whiting, herring, and garfish along the sand, plus squid and blue swimmer crabs over weed beds; on calm days small boats and kayaks work the inner reefs for skippy (trevally) and snapper. Landmarks like Pages Beach, Town Beach, and the Batavia Coast Marina fringe the bay, providing multiple productive edges.

Geraldton Harbour

Around the harbour walls and access points, anglers target squid, herring, and schooling tailor, with occasional mulloway patrolling the deeper channel; crabbing for blue swimmers is a staple in season. It sits adjacent to Batavia Coast Marina and opens to Champion Bay, drawing baitfish and predators into casting range.

Pages Beach

This family‑friendly beach inside Champion Bay offers calm water and weed patches ideal for squid and small herring, with gutters that hold sand whiting and dawn/dusk tailor. The nearby Geraldton Foreshore amenities and breakwaters create edges and current seams that regularly concentrate bait.

Sunset Beach

Consistent shore fishing for tailor, sand whiting, and herring, with deeper gutters forming after swells; the northern reefs can also turn on skippy (trevally). It sits just north of St Georges Beach and is a go‑to when winds favor the lee side of the bars.

Separation Point

A rocky point with adjacent reef and sand patches that hold tailor, skippy (trevally), and squid, with the chance of passing mackerel in warm currents; baits and metals fished along the wash are effective. It lies between Tarcoola Beach and the southern end of Champion Bay, offering varied structure within short walks.

Tarcoola Beach

Known for accessible gutters that produce tailor at low light and steady daytime sand whiting and herring, with nearby reefs adding ambush points for skippy (trevally). It’s just south of Separation Point and benefits from similar water movement along the same coastal contour.

Greenough River

The lower river and mouth area (south of Geraldton) offer estuarine action for bream, flathead, and seasonal mulloway, while the surf outside produces tailor and whiting; small boats and kayaks work the bends and drop‑offs effectively. It’s a short drive from town past Tarcoola Beach, giving a productive change‑up from pure coastal sand.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Geraldton 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 13 beaches and bays in this area.
