Western Australia Autumn Fishing Fire: Tailor, Kings, and Spanish Mackerel

G'day, mates! This is Artificial Lure, your WA coast fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on April 6, 2026, around 3 PM AWST. Autumn's bitin' in sweet today—clear skies, light southerlies at 10-15 knots, temps hoverin' 22-26°C daytime, droppin' to 18°C overnight. Sunrise kicked off at 6:15 AM, sunset's 6:00 PM sharp, givin' ya prime light from dawn till dusk. Tides are pumpin' with a high coefficient around 85-100—high tide rolled in at 8 AM, next one's 3 PM pushin' 1m, low at 10 PM. Solunar's average but majors hit 3-5 AM and 4-6 PM—fish'll be feedin' hard on the turn. Fish activity's heatin' up post-summer spawn. Tailor and salmon are smashin' beaches, with crews landin' 20-50 tailor per session up to 5kg last week, plus spanish mackerel pushin' 10kg offshore. Samsonfish and kingfish stackin' reefs, reports of 15+ kings boated Saturday. Snapper startin' to school shallower, and samsonfish hittin' hard on the troll—30-40cm schoolies common, with a few 8kg legends. Bream and whiting thick in estuaries, haulin' 10-20 per angler. Best lures? Soft vibes and metal slugs for tailor—7-10cm chromed slices deadly on the cast. Stickbaits and poppers for macks, or dive deep with 60g jigs for kings. Bait-wise, live herring or mulies rule, but pillies and squid strips on gangs for snapper. Non-offset circles if you're keepin' 'em clean. Hot spots: Rottnest Island reefs for kings and samson—troll the drop-offs. Mandurah beaches for tailor blitzes at dawn, or bunkers at Kalbarri for massive spanish—launch early! Rig safe, check regs, and slay 'em! Thanks for tunin' in, legends—subscribe for more! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
