Best tide state to fish Salter Point (Canning River)
This is lower-Canning tidal water, and with the channel squeezed to a narrows the current tends to run harder through the narrows than over the flats either side, and the fishing slows at slack water. Clarity is best through summer and autumn, while winter rain sends brown, tannin-stained water down the Canning for days. In summer the water is often calmest early, before the south-westerly seabreeze puts a chop across the point in the afternoon. The narrows is 5-knot water and jet skis are banned upstream of Salter Point. It's still a busy rowing and paddling corridor that Rowing WA flags as high-congestion, so early mornings are both quieter and better fishing.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Salter Point (Canning River) typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, flathead, tailor, yellowfin whiting (sand whiting), and yelloweye mullet.
