Where to go fishing near White Tops?

  • Pearse Reef Further north from the marina around 7km NNW is Pearse reef. Is this a good reef to target Tailor in the white wash.
  • North Bank Approximately 7km north west from the marina is North Bank. Consisting of broken reefs, this is a great place to fish for Pink Snapper, Dhufish, Samson Fish and Baldchin Groper. Bottom bouncing soft plastics and metal jigs is a proven method of catching these fish.
  • Outer Reefs The deeper drop offs approximate 7km directly west from the marina are great places to troll for Mackerel. The deeper holes and isolated rocky out crops are also a great place for bottom fish for Snapper, Dhufish, Baldchin Groper and Coral Trout.
  • North Dongara A series of 4wd tracks through sand dunes leads to numerous fishing spots along the beach. Great spots to fish for Mulloway and Tailor. The small points are a great place to start fishing at dawn, dusk and into the night.
  • Irwin River Irwin River fishing mainly produces small Black Bream. When the Irwin River mouth is open to the ocean is a great time to go fishing at the mouth. The deep channels and out going water can produce Mulloway and Tailor. Working 150cm shallow diving hard body lures around the deeper channels is a great way to target Mulloway here. Make sure to work the lure slowly as Mulloway tend to be lazy.
  • Port Denison Breakwall The breakwall is the most popular fishing spot in town due its easy access. At the end of the breakwalls is a good place to target Mulloway at night. Tailor also hang around and the best time to dawn and dusk with a light sea breeze.
  • South Leander Point South of Port Denison, easily accessible fishing spot. South beach produces Whiting and Tailor. It is best fished at dawn and dusk. Tailor are also more aggressive when a light sea breeze is chopping up the water a bit. Tailor will take metal slugs, poppers and twitch hard body minnows. Do not be afraid to work the lure hard and fast for Tailor.
