Can you fish from the Mandurah Foreshore boardwalks?

Yes from most boardwalks but not from the signed dolphin-viewing platforms or directly outside cafes. Stick to the public foreshore sections and you'll be fine.

When is blue swimmer crab season at Mandurah?

The Peel-Harvey crab season runs through the warmer months but specific dates and bag limits are set by DPIRD and change. Always check current rules before setting nets — minimum size is 127 mm across the carapace.

Is the Mandurah Foreshore good for kids fishing?

Yes — sealed boardwalks, lighting, calm water, cafes and toilets nearby, and an accessible bream fishery on light gear. It's one of the best family fishing precincts south of the river.

What's the best lure for bream at Mandurah Foreshore?

Small soft plastics (1.5–2.5 inch grubs or paddle-tails in natural colours) or hardbody minnows worked tight to the boardwalk pylons. Light leaders (4–6 lb) and finesse retrieves outfish heavy gear in the clear estuary water.
