No — Ammo Jetty has been closed to the public since storm damage over the WA Day long weekend in June 2026, and it stays closed while its replacement is built. On-site construction is scheduled to start in October 2026 and take around 12 months, so the official line is ready to fish by summer 2027. The waters directly under and beside the jetty are closed to swimming, diving and snorkelling too.

What will the new Ammo Jetty be like for fishing?

Better than the old one — a 50-metre, three-metre-wide T-head more than doubles the deep-water fishing space, the main deck is wider, and the design adds lighting, shelter, seating, rubbish bins and emergency ladders. The original 1939 piles stay in the water, so the structure that holds bait and squid remains.

Where should I squid while Ammo Jetty is closed?

Not at Woodman Point Jetty — that is the same structure under a different name, and it is closed too. Palm Beach Jetty and Rockingham Jetty, both in Mangles Bay, are the closest open lit jetties over comparable weed. South Mole, 15 minutes north, gives similar squid water off rock structure and fishes the same August–February season.

Why is Ammo Jetty so popular for squid?

It sits over the weed beds in Cockburn Sound that hold calamari year-round, and the permanent lighting concentrates them after dark. The combination of structure, weed and lighting makes it the most consistent land-based squid spot in metro Perth.

How do I avoid losing squid jigs in the pylons?

Cast slightly outside the pylon line and retrieve back across the weed rather than straight up the structure. When you do snag, point the rod directly at the jig and pull steadily; jerking usually drives the jig deeper into the timber.
