Claremont Jetty (Swan River)
Bite Compass is showing a medium fish activity bite score on 20 Apr 2026. Wind is around E at 5 km/h. Solunar feeding windows are listed below.
Claremont Jetty sits on the southern bank of Freshwater Bay — peaceful, walkable, and well-placed over some of the deeper water in the lower Swan. It's the classic Perth suburban bream jetty: small crowds, shoreline drop-offs either side, and enough depth off the end to hold tailor, mulloway and whiting as well. Less flash than Mosman Bay downstream, but it quietly produces year-round.
Drop small baits or light soft plastics tight to the pylons for bream — prawn, bloodworm or small hardbodies on the tide change. Work the shoreline drop-offs either side for tailor (loners or very small schools here — not Fremantle-style blitzes). Yellowfin whiting sit on the cleaner sand patches in summer. For mulloway, fish the deeper water off the end at dusk into dark on a rising tide with whole mulies or mullet strips.
Black bream (year-round around pylons), flathead (sand edges), tailor (shoreline drop-offs, autumn), herring and skippy (bread-and-butter), yellowfin whiting (summer sand patches), and mulloway from the jetty end after dark.
Light gear suits the clear river water — heavy leaders get refused by bream. Cobbler are fully protected in the Swan-Canning; release any caught. The shoreline beaches either side of the jetty hold prawns and blue mannas for scoop/trawl fishers when the water warms up. Parking on Victoria Avenue is limited on weekends — the walk in from the train station isn't bad if you're packing light.
