Why does Burns Beach fish well for tailor?

Genuine reef structure with deep holes between reef sections creates ambush points where tailor sit. The reef extends offshore enough to influence sand banks and create features that hold bait. It's one of the better tailor spots in Perth's northern suburbs.

What's the best lure at Burns Beach?

30–40g metals worked fast over reef edges, or poppers and sinking stickbaits into deep holes. Surface lures are snag-free options that work well over the reef. Bring spares — the reef will eat lures regardless of how careful you are.

Is Burns Beach safe to fish?

Yes for the beach sections in manageable swell. The reef is slippery and uneven; wade carefully or fish from the sand and cast to the reef edge. Don't fish low rock platforms in heavy swell. Always keep an escape route in mind.

Can I catch mulloway at Burns Beach?

Yes — the deep holes between reef sections hold mulloway at night, particularly October through April. Fresh whole squid or live mullet on heavy gear in the deepest holes is the standard approach. Patience matters.
