Point Walter is a classic Swan River sand point where shallow flats drop off into the main channel. Bream cruise the flats on the incoming tide, flathead sit on the sand edges waiting to ambush, and tailor move through the deeper water at dawn and dusk. The sandbar creates a natural funnel that concentrates fish.
Wade out carefully onto the flats and fish the drop-off where sand meets deeper water — that's the edge fish patrol. Soft plastics worked along the bottom are deadly for flathead. For bream, keep presentations subtle and match the clear water with light leaders. Fish the incoming tide for the best action on the flats.
Bream (year-round, incoming tide on the flats), flathead (sand edges, ambush feeders), tailor (dawn/dusk, moving through the channel), and mulloway in the deeper water.
The sandbar shifts — check wading depth carefully and don't go further than waist deep. Light gear and subtle presentations are essential in the clear river water. Dawn sessions on a calm morning with an incoming tide are hard to beat here.
