Why does Falcon Bay fish when other beaches don't?

An offshore reef breaks the worst of incoming SW swell, creating a calmer near-shore zone than neighbouring beaches. When Halls Head and Madora Bay are washed out, Falcon often still fishes the channel.

Where exactly is the channel at Falcon Bay?

Look for a darker band of water running roughly parallel to the beach — that's the deep channel. Position changes with sand movement, so walk the beach and visually scout before setting up.

What's the best time for tailor at Falcon Bay?

November through March, with the strongest sessions at dawn and dusk. The channel concentrates bait and tailor stack along the edges; cast metals across and work them back through.

Can I catch mulloway at Falcon Bay?

Yes — the deep channel holds mulloway at night, with November the peak month. Fresh whole squid or live mullet on heavy gear in the deepest channel sections is the standard approach. Patience is essential.
