Is Tim's Thicket good for salmon?

Yes — the spot is on the autumn salmon run path (March–June) and visible feeding schools are common. Cast 30–40g metals or poppers through working schools and retrieve fast. The car-park elevation gives a good vantage to spot fish before committing to a position.

How remote is Tim's Thicket?

It's the southern boundary of Perth's metro orbit — 15 minutes south of Mandurah but feels country. A sealed road runs to a gravel car park, then it's a beach walk — or a 4WD run south along the sand — to the productive remote gutters. Mobile coverage can be patchy on outer sections.

Can I fish Tim's Thicket at night?

Yes for the gutters in manageable swell, with a head torch. Going with a friend is sensible because it's remote and not heavily trafficked at night. Gear theft is a known issue at remote beach access points.

What's the best gear for Tim's Thicket?

Light spin gear and metals are enough for most species. 9–11ft rod with 15–25lb braid and 30–40g metals covers tailor, salmon and herring. Heavier gear is only needed if you're chasing mulloway specifically in deeper night gutters.
