Is Rockingham Jetty good for kids?

Yes — sealed access, lighting, calm water, public toilets and cafes nearby, and a productive but light-tackle fishery. It's one of the better family fishing spots south of the river.

Can you catch King George whiting from Rockingham Jetty?

Yes — the sandy patches between weed beds either side of the jetty hold KGW from September through April. Fish a long-shank paternoster with prawn or bloodworm and keep weights light.

What's the best time of day for squid at Rockingham Jetty?

Late afternoon into evening from August through February. The jetty lights concentrate squid after dark, especially on calm nights with a moving tide.

Is Rockingham Jetty fishable in bad weather?

Yes for most weather — Mangles Bay is well-sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds. The jetty becomes uncomfortable in strong easterly winds or heavy rain, but it's one of the most reliable bad-weather spots on the metro coast.
