Moore River should be ok at that time

The beach would definately be worth a try there for tailor and mulloway if the weed situation is ok.

Try the rock walls in the harbour, particularly the ones near the crayfish processing plant. I have caught some excellent mulloway and tailor there.

Dongara and the marina is also a good bet for tailor at this time of the year

mate try up near the light house car park where there used to be a groin (most of it has washed away) there fish the southern side they regularly get tailor and mullies there from the beach no 4x4 needed or for a longer walk try the beach where the river meets it, as for bream there are lots of spots in the river to try

ps this is all for Moore river as for gero go to the abhrolis islands if you want to catch fish haha

Yes, you can walk to the beach at Moore River from the caravan

park. At Gero there are plenty of beaches around town where you can just drive up and park your car.
Greenough River mouth, just south of town, is another good spot to try.

Yerr if the river mouth is open, fish on the beach right next to it, apparently the mullas just sit there and feed on the bait coming out of the river
