About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Canning Bridge in Applecross, WA, offers an inviting estuary environment perfect for anglers keen on targeting a variety of species. The riverbank provides ample access for fishing, particularly at dawn, dusk, and during the night when bream, flathead, and mulloway are more active. As the tide moves, keep an eye on the changing water clarity, as it can impact fish behaviour. Lure fishing and bait fishing are both popular methods here, with tailor, whiting, and mullet also frequently caught. Be aware of the tide movement and wind, which can create varying conditions—staying alert will enhance your fishing experience while ensuring safety along the riverbank.
