The Murray is Peel-Harvey's longest tributary — 134 km from the hills down to the inlet, with the saltwater and brackish reach from South Yunderup up to Pinjarra a genuine bream specialist fishery. Murray Bend at Ravenswood is the local brag: 40 cm fish and hard-fighting hits among the snags. Flats at North Yunderup pull fresh baitfish and crustaceans in on the tide. Less pressured than the Peel Inlet foreshore, and quiet enough to hear the fish crack a prawn before you see the line move.

Light gear wins the Murray. Work small soft plastics (motor oil, pumpkin, 1.5–2.5 inch) or small suspending hardbody minnows tight to snags and rock walls — suspending presentations absolutely clean up here. For flats fishing, match the tide change and drift light presentations over sand/rock/seagrass mix around Ravenswood and Yunderup. Boat or kayak helps you reach the quieter pockets; walkable access at Ravenswood and Pinjarra town.

Black bream (the headline — Murray Bend, Ravenswood, Pinjarra Flats, all bream country), flathead (sand and channel edges), mulloway (deeper pockets at dusk), yellowfin whiting on the tidal flats, and cobbler after dark for people fishing bait. Blue swimmer crabs are present at the lower end closer to the inlet.

Peel-Harvey regulations apply: blue swimmer crab season 1 December – 31 August, minimum 127 mm carapace. Murray bream run big — bump your leader to 8–12 lb around snags and pull the middle treble off hard-body lures to cut snag losses. Watch for algal-bloom advisories on the DWER system, and check DPIRD for current cobbler closure dates.
