Is Mindarie quieter than Hillarys?

Yes — Mindarie is smaller and gets less fishing pressure. The trade-off is fewer walls and less variety, but for squid and herring sessions the reduced crowds are an advantage. Dining and amenity options are still good.

When is the best time for squid at Mindarie?

Late afternoon into evening from August through February with peaks in spring and late summer. The lit walls concentrate squid after dark; fish 2.0–3.0 jigs slowly along the wall edges.

Where does Mindarie fish for tailor?

Around the entrance channel during tide changes — fish the edges where current meets the rock walls. Cast metals or ganged-hook mulies across the seam at dawn and dusk during autumn (March–June).

Can I fish from the Mindarie dining boardwalks?

No — signage applies along the boardwalks adjacent to outdoor dining and waitstaff will move you. Stick to the public foreshore walls and you're fine.
