Can you fish from the Mount Henry Bridge jetty?

Yes. There's a refurbished public jetty on the Mount Pleasant side, accessed from the Mount Henry Bridge Reserve off The Esplanade, with parking under the bridge, a playground and public toilets. Cast tight to the bridge pylons for bream and into the deeper channel for mulloway after dark; the sandy flats either side suit wade fishing for bream and flathead.

What fish can you catch at Mount Henry Bridge?

Black bream around the pylons and weed edges year-round are the main target, along with flathead on the sand lanes, tarwhine and herring around the structure, and mulloway moving through the channel after dark. Chopper tailor push through on the tide change in autumn, and yellowfin whiting sit on the sand patches through summer.

Is Mount Henry Bridge good for kids?

Yes. The Mount Pleasant side has a refurbished jetty, sealed paths, a playground, public toilets and grassed picnic areas, and the bread-and-butter bream and herring fishing suits light tackle. Keep an eye on children around the jetty edge and the channel drop-off that sits just off the flats.

Where do you park to fish Mount Henry Bridge?

The main parking is at Mount Henry Bridge Reserve on the Mount Pleasant side, off The Esplanade, with bays under the bridge and opposite the jetty. The Salter Point and Aquinas Bay foreshore on the far bank has its own access and is reachable on foot via the shared path cantilevered under the bridge.

Can you keep bream from the Canning River at Mount Henry Bridge?

Black bream have a 250 mm minimum size and a daily bag limit of 6, and only 2 bream over 400 mm may be kept across the Swan and Canning rivers combined. Cobbler carry a 430 mm minimum and a bag of 8, with no closed season — verify current DPIRD rules before keeping any.
