Where exactly do you fish at Canning Bridge?

The dedicated fishing platform on the Applecross side, accessed from the bridge underpass. Cast tight to the pylons and along the current edges. The shadow lines under the bridge span are the prime mulloway zones at night.

When is the best time for mulloway at Canning Bridge?

Rising tides into dark around new and full moons through October to March. Locals time sessions for high tides peaking before midnight. Whole mullet or large fresh strips on heavy gear is the standard recipe.

Is Canning Bridge accessible for people with mobility limitations?

Yes — the dedicated fishing platform on the Applecross side is sealed, railed and lit. Among the most mobility-friendly fishing platforms in metro Perth. Some bank fishing alternative spots exist but the platform is the main accessible setup.

What's the best lure for bream at Canning Bridge?

Small soft plastics (1.5–2.5 inch grubs or paddle-tails in natural colours) or hardbody minnows worked tight to the pylons. Bump leaders to 6–8 lb because of pylon snags; light gear gets bricked. Fish the tide movement, not slack water.
