Fremantle Beach Fishing With Lures (Ultralight Gear) - Perth Fishing

This morning I headed down to my local beach to catch a few different species on lures. I was really chasing a flathead but was expecting some herring. Thankfully, I caught both!

I do plastics fishing in Busso. I love it, you can get founder and flat head on them from the beach right in town,. light gear is fun.

[@eggspanda2475]

I use to fish there a lot. Was a lot of tarwine and the occasional pinky at night. I dont think they're around anymore. Rous head I caught monsters inside the harbour where the ferry leaves. was huge skippy too. would bust me off all the time. also Had quite a few run ins with security there.

As an ultra light tackle junkie, I loves this vid. Super chill, to the point and fun. Well done mate

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey mate, thanks a lot! very kind words

[@dfjmadventures]

Was sitting on the couch when this popped up! Yet again, quality stuff mate. The old light beach fishing is so relaxing hey - and there are a lot more beach flathead around than people think! Well done mate 💪🎣👍

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

Thanks legend! Definitely something I should do more- probably some good fish to be had off those beaches in your yak too!

[@dfjmadventures]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA Haha indeed there are - hope to get out soon once life slows down a bit!

great video mate, thanks

thanks mate, glad you enjoyed!

Bro. I love your channel! Such good content. Keep it going!

thanks mate!

Great stuff mate!

thanks Andy, big fan!

[@johnh485]

Nice little session mate.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, was a nice change of pace

[@maxtorode5071]

i love watching your videos i hope to see more swan river breaing vids

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate! I've been trying to have some variation recently but I'd say i'm a bream fisherman above all else so there'll be more for sure!

[@darrensaltmarsh8095]

Mate loving the videos. Not long moved from the UK and grabbed a 1-3kg rod and this is the type of video I needed for ideas and what’s on offer in WA. Keep it going 🤙🏼

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey mate, thanks a lot! I was just talking to a guy out fishing who's in the same boat as you. Definitely some different fishing options here compared to back in the UK - exciting stuff! And you're right - the ultralight is the way to go here for consistent fun. Glad you enjoyed! Let me know if you have questions - the world of fishing youtube can be a bit misleading for someone new to Perth- land based Mackerel and Tuna videos down at Ammo Jetty get a lot of views but aren't necessarily reflective of what you can expect. As I said though - plenty of light tackle options that are well worth your time, especially coming into summer!

[@darrensaltmarsh8095]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA I love my light lure fishing. We have plenty of Perch fishing back in the UK (you call them Redfin). Can’t wait to get out and species hunt for stuff here. Got Bream, Flatty and Herring on the radar first and hopefully who knows what else. 👍🏼

[@Flqmmable]

Hey mate, just thought I'd share but on bathers beach area (freo) on the right hand side near the mole rockwall, giant herring (aka milkfish) swim through there in schools. I managed to catch a few during summer (end of the year to beginning of the year) with a 20g halco lure. They give a good fight and are super fun to catch bcs they jump out the water just like herring/tailor but only there are wayy bigger! edit: good time range I've found so far for them are like 12pm to 3pm. You have to cast right past the shallow into the dark area so may have to walk into the water possibly knee/waist level depending if its low tide or not.

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

Interesting! thanks for the tip

[@rush.gang.fishing]

Another really good video, master of the light tackle game ✅ nice chilled vibe & easy to watch. You have a chest mount or neck mount thing for your camera? Catches the action really well. I use head cam a fair bit but I find I miss a lot of the action with it haha 😆 🎣✅

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

haha thanks mate! I use a chest mount. It films it well but it took some time to figure out, my first few videos weren't filmed very well but finally getting the hang of it.

[@user-zh8yk6wd8p]

love the video! what beach are you fishing at? and i think it is better to use 2.5 in minnows for flathead

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate, this was a beach in Fremantle. You can use whatever you feel comfortable with and catches you fish, no one lure is better than another (within reason) especially for flathead

[@Gingy_breadman]

Is Frio a good place to fish?

[@Perthfishin]

I love these vids (btw I went this morning at canning bridge and got some tailor) u should come at like (6am)

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks for the support mate! Don't get to go out early often but if I can, canning bridge tailor will definitely be something to consider! seems like a good spot for them at the moment

[@Perthfishin]

I went today and got 2, 45cm tailor. They fight hard af on 1-3kg rod the drag be sizzling

[@fishinglifeaddicts6709]

@@Perthfishin were you using lures or bait?

[@thetoyota86perspective54]

Forgot to ask, what was your setup there? Looked like a Daiwa Infeet and a TD Black reel?

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

yeah, daiwa infeet 732 and td black 2500d. I have fancier stuff but honestly this combo is 95% as good as even the most expensive one - works great for any type of light tackle fishing.

[@thetoyota86perspective54]

@LightTackleAnglerWA I agree the Infeet are one of the best value rods I've used. I personally have a 722 ULRS and for me it's the perfect hardbody/jig setup. Soft in the tip so you don't pull hooks but heaps of backbone. Usually my go to rod for the type of fishing you're doing. I've paired mine with a 1K Stradic FL for an ultra light setup and pulled in decent size pinkies, flathead and salmon on this setup. I'm a Shimano man mainly but I love the light rods Daiwa comes out with especially the Infeet series

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

@@thetoyota86perspective54 totally agree mate. Also a fan of shimano reels, i have a vanford that i've been too lazy to service but is arguably better than the td black. as you can tell I spend way too much on this stuff but everybody spends too much on something hey!

[@kingtaco4846]

I would love to se some squid vids. I like your vids cause there nice and short keep it up 👍

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

Thanks a lot mate! I have been thinking about making one, yeah. Landbased, i'd like to get out at sunrise to target them which isnt something i get to do often as a Dad but if I get the chance i'll definitely head to a Freo Rockwall and give it a go!

[@jogguys]

👍

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

thanks mate

[@kieranpalmer9045]

bro do you think you could give me a couple tips on a good light weight setup, been out lately a few times but catching 0. would love to get stuck into some herring on lures if you could give me a few tips. any particular tide or time??

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

hey mate, as with most forms of fishing, I actually think that tide trumps time. On a basic level i'd say a few hours either side of high tide is ideal, but at a lower tide you can still find fish if you find structure like dropoffs. If you're south of the river, South Beach is a good place to start. It has more structure than other beaches in the area. Between Freo and Trigg there are plenty of beaches with reef or weed like south cott, leighton or grant st (an old favourite). North of Trigg has great ground, North Beach has herring and even yellowfin whiting (kind of a secret spot but this comment is way too long for anyone else to read). Herring don't need much chop (wind) so a light easterly is great. Hope this helps

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

also any light 1-3 or 2-4kg rod will do well for microjigs, heavier rod will cast heavier lures like halco twisty. 2000-2500 size reel, 4-10lb braid, 4-10lb leader.

[@kieranpalmer9045]

@@LightTackleAnglerWA hey bud just wanted to say thanks for the tips, went out today and bought myself my first new rod and reel in years, sick little light gear set-up, hopefully get out sunday morning down freo way and get into some herring on a nice little slice!!!!. cheers bud, tight lines!!

[@LightTackleAnglerWA]

@@kieranpalmer9045 hey mate, love to hear it! nice wind for it this morning- high tide too. southern section of south beach is a good place to start. just watch out for dogs!

What infeet was that? Mint vid btw

Thanks a lot mate! It's the 732lfs. Good for plastics but also has some flex for keeping trebles in.
