About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Nestled on the western tip of Rottnest Island, the Rottnest West End offers a rugged rock wall that is a prime spot for anglers. The rocky platform provides access to an array of species, including herring, skippy, tailor, and the more challenging samson fish. As dawn breaks or dusk settles, the low light conditions create an ideal atmosphere for fishing, while a low swell enhances safety and access. Be mindful of slippery rocks and the potential for wave wash when navigating the area; checking swell height prior to your visit is advisable. Whether you’re bait fishing or trying your luck with lures, this location promises an engaging fishing experience amidst the stunning coastal scenery of Western Australia.
