Disregard what Davoe said about heat being a problem, have been there 45degree heat with the northerlys blowinging . Very uncomfortable but good for
mulloway. Been there 5 years straight at the right time of year. Luck of the draw. Could get nothing, especially with strong southerly/southe easterlies blowing in your face. Not even any
sharks and salmon. Been there other times at right moon phases, 6 over 30 pounds in period of a couple of hours.
Regardless, there are heaps of spots to catch feeds of fish - whiting,
snook, tommies, salmon,
sharks, flathead,
tailor occasionally, yellowtail kingfish can be seen cruising around the rocks, (need 50lb line on 24kg game rods at a minimum) and 20lb snapper from the surf. Seen an estimated 80lm kingie crusining under the jetty
Fowlers Bay. Lots of lost tackle. Is a great place. You just need the good weather - northerlies, n/e or n/w suit best, usually coincide with very hot weather. Having said that, caught 40lber 20m out from shore (about as far as I could cast with 40 knot winds in my face (southerly or similar) . Best time day before full moon and a few days after.
Best spots vary.
Dog fence beach,
Yalata beaches, Scotts beach (
Fowlers Bay), and other surrounding beaches of Fowlers all produce.
Check local servos/kiosks etc for the latest and fish what they recommend. They generally don't fish themselves and so don't give a damn if you go and get some fish, and they are the ones that hear all the news.
Go for it, great place to be even if you don't catch a 50 lb'er. Good months months Oct - Feb,, best months Nov-Dec-Jan when warm currents are at their best. Get a charter into the islands and get into Tuna, Sampsons, snapper, hug Salmon, even Dolphin Fish.
