About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Leschenault Estuary in Australind, WA, offers a stunning backdrop for both shore and boat anglers. This estuary is renowned for its diverse fish species, including Black Bream, Whiting, Flathead, Tailor, Mullet, and the sought-after Blue Swimmer Crab. Early mornings and late afternoons, particularly during moving tides and low light, are prime times for casting your line, as fish tend to be more active under these conditions.

With its serene environment and abundant species, Leschenault Estuary is a fantastic fishing destination for those looking to enjoy a day on the water.
