A huge variety of fish species ranging from standard catches to game and deep sea fish are plentiful in Coral Coast waters. The 1,200 kilometre coastline from Cervantes to Exmouth is the perfect destination to fish, whether you are an amateur angler or a skilled professional.
- Dongara-Port Denison – the twin towns of Dongara and Port Denison are considered to be the lobster capital of Australia and are perfectly suited for the amateur fisherman.
- Geraldton and the Houtman Abrolhos – Point Moore and Separation Point are terrific locations for whiting and herring.
- Kalbarri – the Murchison River flows alongside Kalbarri and is home to black bream, mulloway, whiting, giant herring, trevally and tailor. Wittecarra Creek and Red Bluff located south of the town of Kalbarri are excellent for surf fishing for mackerel, tailor, mullaway and cod.
- Shark Bay – locals recommend dropping a line from the shore or jetty in Denham. Shark Bay is a protected area and there are restrictions on the size and amount of fish that can be caught.
