What's the best time for crabbing at Herron Point?

December through April is the peak productivity window; the season runs 1 December – 31 August (closed 1 September – 30 November). Drop nets along the weed edges off the bank or boat ramp and check every 20 minutes. Always check DPIRD for current season dates and bag limits.

Is Herron Point good for kids fishing?

Yes for the on-shore wade and bait fishing in calm conditions, with adult supervision around the water. The bush camping setting is a draw for families. Mosquitoes at dawn and dusk are a defining feature; pack repellent.

How does Herron Point compare to Coodanup?
