Western Australia Autumn Fishing: Tailor Fired Up, Kings Active

G'day, mates, this is Artificial Lure here with your Western Australia coast fishing report for April 15, 2026, right from the salty shores. Autumn's settlin' in nice, with sunrise at 6:45 AM and sunset around 6:00 PM—plenty of daylight to chase the bite. Weather's lookin' prime: mild 22-25°C days, partly cloudy with light southerlies at 10-15 knots offshore, seas 1-1.5m. Tides are runnin' strong today—high at 3:20 PM Fremantle way, low at 9:45 PM, pushin' fish into the gutters and reefs (Bureau of Meteorology forecast). Fish are fired up post-summer! Recent catches around Perth and Mandurah: tailor smashin' metal slugs, 20-40cm schoolies by the dozen; skippy and herring thick on pilchards, limits easy; big samsonfish and kingies to 10kg on live bait from Rottnest diversions; whiting flounderin' beaches with worms, bags of 30+. Tailor numbers up 30% this week per local tackle shops, kings active on dawn patrols (WA Fishing Network reports). Best lures? Slammin' 40g chromed slugs like the Halco Twisty for tailor—rip 'em fast in the wash. Soft vibes or minnows like Gulp 5" in white for kings and trevs. Bait kings: fresh pilchards or squid strips on a gang hook, bloodworms for whiting. Run 'em deep on the turn of tide. Hot spots: Cottesloe Groyne for tailor at first light—gutters loaded. Mandurah canals or White Point for kings and skipjack—anchor up and berley hard. Tight lines, stay safe out there.
