G’day crew, Artificial Lure here with your arvo wrap for the Western Australian coast, from Perth up through the Midwest and a nod north. Along the metro coast, a light to moderate southerly sea breeze has been pushing in through the afternoon, with clear skies and a small swell around a metre or so. According to the Bureau of Meteorology’s coastal outlook, it’s been classic high‑pressure winter weather: cool mornings, mild days, and that reliable seabreeze kicking in after lunch. First light came in just after 7, and the sun ducked away a touch after 5, giving land‑based fishos a tight but productive dawn and dusk window. Tide‑wise, the Fremantle and Perth coastal stations have been showing a modest high in the morning, easing into a low about mid‑arvo, then building again this evening. That late push of water has fired up the inshore bite, especially around reefy breaks and groynes where the bait’s getting funneled. Reports from local tackle shops up and down the metro strip have been solid. There’s been a good run of **herring** and **skippy** off the rock walls at North Mole, South Mole, and Hillarys. Small metal slices in the 10–20 gram range, whitebait on paternosters, and tiny 2–3 inch soft plastics have been doing the damage. A few **tailor** have shown up on dusk around Trigg and Scarborough, mostly choppers, with the odd bigger greenback mixed in for those spinning 30–40 gram chrome metals or unweighted mulies. Further north around Lancelin and Jurien Bay, boating crews have been landing solid **pink snapper** and **dhufish** on the broken ground in 30–50 metres. Fresh mullet and squid baits on simple dropper rigs are still king, but slow‑pitch jigs in pinks and glow patterns have taken plenty of fish for the lure tragics. Local skippers are also reporting **baldchin groper** and **breaksea cod** in the esky when they’ve stuck to that rougher country instead of featureless sand. Down in Cockburn Sound and Garden Island, there are still **squid** hanging around the weed beds in 4–8 metres. Natural and prawn‑pattern jigs in browns, greens, and orange have accounted for good numbers when worked slowly along the bottom. A few **King George whiting** have been picked up on tenderised squid strips and small vibe lures in the same areas. For beach fishos chasing a feed, the gutters along the Mandurah to Myalup stretch have held **whiting**, **herring**, and smaller **shovel‑nose rays**, with the occasional tailor after dark. Best baits there have been beach worms, pipis, and small strips of mullet. Light gear, small hooks, and a bit of burley have really helped on the slower tides. If you’re looking for hot spots over the next tide cycle: • **North Mole & surrounding Freo rock walls** – great for herring, skippy, and a crack at tailor or a rogue snapper when that evening high pushes in. Metals, small soft plastics, and mulies are the go. • **Five Fathom Bank off Rockingham and the reefs west of Garden Island** – excellent for pink snapper and skippy on the change of light with fresh mullet, squid, or well‑presented soft plastics and slow jigs. General lure tips: – For metro inshore, pack 10–40 gram chrome slices, 3–4 inch paddle‑tail plastics in white or pilchard colours, and a couple of 3.0–3.5 squid jigs. – For offshore, bring slow jigs around 60–120 grams in pink, orange, and glow, plus a selection of circle hooks and fresh bait if you can source it. Bait wise, **fresh squid**, **mullet**, **pilchards**, and **whitebait** are hard to beat right now. If you can only take one, grab squid – it’s versatile and tough on the hook. That’s the word from the water from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
