About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Murchison River Mouth in Kalbarri, WA, offers anglers a stunning backdrop where the river meets the Indian Ocean. This river mouth is renowned for its diverse fish species, including tailor, mulloway, bream, whiting, flathead, and trevally. Early morning and late evening are prime times to cast your line, especially during the incoming and run-out tides when fish are more active. Surf casting from the beach or fishing from the riverbank can yield rewarding catches, so be prepared with your preferred bait or lures. Keep in mind that tidal movements and wind can significantly influence water clarity and fish behaviour, so it’s wise to stay alert. The picturesque scenery combined with the thrill of fishing makes this spot a must-visit for both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike.
