Lake Coogee

Located in Western Australia, Australia, Lake Coogee is a saltwater venue where the tide chart matters more than the weather. Fish at Lake Coogee feed hardest on the moving tide, with slack water tending to fish slowly. Wind direction also changes things — an onshore breeze pushes baitfish into the shallows and can turn a quiet morning into a short, frantic feeding window.
