Bicton Baths (Swan River)
Bite Compass is showing a low fish activity bite score on 31 Mar 2026. Wind is around S at 12 km/h. Solunar feeding windows are listed below.
Bicton Baths is a quiet stretch of the Swan River with old jetty structure and subtle depth changes that hold fish. It doesn't look like much compared to flashier spots, but the pylons and edges hold bream year-round, and the sandy bottom is flathead territory. It's a finesse spot that rewards patience and light tackle.
Work soft plastics or light bait rigs around the pylons and along the edges where sand meets structure. Let the current do the work — natural drift presentations outfish anything forced. Tide turns are the best windows, especially when they coincide with low light.
Bream (the main target, year-round around structure), flathead (sandy bottom, ambush feeders), and occasional tailor moving through the river system.
Boat traffic can spook fish in the shallows — quieter periods early morning and late evening fish best. Keep your weights light so baits drift naturally. This isn't a spot for heavy gear; 4–6lb leaders and small hooks are what works.
