You’re looking in Perth, Western Australia near 38 Kariong Ct for a jetty spot that’s a bit more substantial than a tiny local pier. Good call — jetties are great when you want a simple walk-up fish without dragging a boat around 🎣
A few nearby options to check out:
-
Mullaloo Beach Jetty area — not a giant fishing jetty, but it gives you shoreline access and is a decent option for casting into deeper water and working the edge of the beach. Since the sea is rough today with 5.9 ft waves and a strong WSW swell, be careful on exposed rock/jetty areas.
-
Cottesloe / North Cottesloe groyne and jetty-style access — not a true long jetty, but it’s one of the more accessible coastal fishing spots closer to central Perth. Good for early morning or evening bites when the water settles.
-
Sorrento / Hillarys Boat Harbour outer edges — if you want something more like a proper structure spot, this is often better than a tiny neighborhood jetty. You can fish around pylons, walls, and current seams without needing a boat.
-
Fremantle Harbour / South Mole and North Mole — these are the best bets if you specifically want a longer jetty-type fishable structure near Perth. They’re more serious fishing spots than a small beach jetty, and they often hold tailor, mulloway, herring, and squid depending on season and conditions.
Because the weather is overcast and the wind is light (ESE around 5 mph), that’s actually a nice setup for a shore session. The only catch is the swell: with waves that big, the safer and more productive choice is a protected mole or harbour wall, not an exposed beach jetty.
Best practical pick: if you want the closest thing to a real long jetty, start with Fremantle North Mole or South Mole. If you want easier access and less exposure, try Hillarys/Fremantle harbour edges.
For bait/lures, try:
- Prawn, squid strips, or mullet strips on a running sinker rig
- A small metal slice or minnow lure if you’re chasing tailor
- Fish first light or sunset for the best odds
