Is fishing allowed off East Street Jetty?

Yes. East Street Jetty is a public jetty in the Swan Canning Riverpark, managed by the Department of Transport, and line fishing from it is a long-standing use. It's also a working charter-boat landing, so keep lines clear of the berthing face and wind in when a vessel comes alongside.

What can you catch at East Street Jetty?

The standard lower-Swan mix — mulloway at night, black bream and tarwhine around the pylons, yellowfin whiting, flathead and cobbler over the sand, squid on the night tides from late winter to summer, and tailor in autumn. Blue swimmer crabs come up in drop nets from December to August.

When is the best time to fish East Street Jetty?

On the tide. The current from the nearby harbour mouth drives the bite, and the stretch fishes well over the lower half of the tide for whiting, flathead and cobbler. For mulloway, fish the run-out after dark — winter nights are the classic window on this part of the Swan.

Can you catch crabs at East Street Jetty?

Yes, drop nets work off the deck from December to August. The Swan-Canning blue swimmer crab season is closed from 1 September to 30 November each year, the minimum size is 127mm across the carapace, and the daily bag is 5 per fisher — check DPIRD's current crabbing guide before you set nets.

Where do you park for East Street Jetty?

Paid parking sits right beside the jetty off Beach Street, East Fremantle — around $2–$2.50 an hour. From Canning Highway, turn onto East Street just before Stirling Bridge, then left onto Beach Street; the walk from the car park to the deck is flat and less than a minute.
