About Carbunup River

As a river in Western Australia, Australia, Carbunup River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Carbunup River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Bluefish

    Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.

  • For Yellowtail Grunter

    Grunter often feed near structure; cast close to snags, rock bars, or mangrove roots to increase your chances of a hookup, use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses.

  • For Yellow-eye mullet

    Use berley (ground bait) to attract Yellow-eye mullet to your fishing spot, improving your chances of a successful catch.
