Fishing near Bunbury, Western Australia

Bunbury sits on Western Australia's South West coast where the Leschenault Estuary, Collie River, and Indian Ocean reefs converge to create one of the state's most varied fishing scenes. Land-based anglers work the Casuarina Breakwall, The Cut, and Back Beach for tailor, herring, and mulloway, while boat fishers push offshore to limestone reef ledges for pink snapper, dhufish, and Samson fish. The Leschenault Estuary and Collie River round out the options with black bream, whiting, flathead, and blue swimmer crabs year-round.
