Best tide state to fish South Mole (Fremantle)

The wall faces NW so it sheltering you from the SW swell that shuts North Mole down — South Mole fishes through almost any swell short of cyclonic. The afternoon seabreeze hits the harbour side most days, but the curve of the wall creates calm eddies near the bend. Tide changes pull bait around the corner where the current concentrates, and the run-in just before dusk is the most reliable feeding window. Water clarity in the harbour can drop after rain or shipping movements.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing South Mole (Fremantle) typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring, skipjack trevally (skippy), tailor, southern calamari (squid), and mulloway (jewfish).
