Why is Madora Bay good for mulloway?

The gutters hold deeper than most metro beaches and the offshore reef keeps the inshore water cleaner. The combination of depth, structure, water clarity and remote night-time access makes it one of the better land-based jewfish prospects on the Perth–Mandurah coast.

When is the best time for mulloway at Madora Bay?

October through April at night, with the strongest run typically in November. Fish around the new and full moon phases on an incoming tide for the most consistent action. Patience is essential; jewfish don't rush bait.

Can you fish Madora Bay during the day?

Yes — herring, tailor and whiting fish well during the day, particularly at dawn and dusk. Mulloway is essentially a night fishery here so daytime sessions target the bread-and-butter species.

Is Madora Bay safe to fish solo at night?

Generally yes but the beach is remote at night and gear theft is a known issue at remote access points. Tell someone your plans, fish with a friend if you can, and don't leave gear unattended.
