Ocean Reef Marina provides boat launching and sheltered fishing in Perth's northern suburbs. The harbour structure holds bait year-round, and the inshore reef system nearby means land-based anglers have access to both marina fishing and reef fishing from the surrounding coastline. Less crowded than Hillarys, further north, less pressure.

Fish the harbour walls and ramp edges for herring and bream — the structure concentrates bait. On the outside, cast toward the inshore reef for tailor and herring at dawn and dusk. The entrance channel gets tidal flow that switches the bite on during the change. Light tackle and natural presentations work best in the clear water.

Herring, bream (around structure), tailor (reef edges and entrance at dawn/dusk), skippy, whiting over the sand, and squid around the harbour walls at night.

The marina is undergoing major redevelopment that may affect access — check current conditions before heading out. When the development is complete, this will be a much larger facility. Fish the surrounding reef and beach areas if marina access is limited during construction.
