Small boat fishing Pardoo

Fishing Pilbara Creeks

Fishing the tides is important in all the north west creeks. Spring tides are the hardest to fish, particularly with lures as fish could be anywhere. A good place to start in at the mouth of the small feeder creeks, as the tide rises move into the feeder creeks casting lures shallow diving lures for Barramundi and Threadfin Salmon. Find the deepest holes close to the feeder creeks and work these creek thoroughly. The last of the run out time is another good time to target the mouth of the feeder creeks.

The feeder creeks and channels at the mouth of the smaller rivers are also a good place to target Threadfin and Barramundi on shallow diving hard body lures. Although live baiting with mullet along the stretches of the creek or floating a mullet into some snags is probably the most successful way of landing good fish during the big tides.

During the Neap tides the lure fishing is much better, find the deepest holes of the creek closest to the mouth of the river or creek. Use your sounder to find Barramundi and Threadfin Salmon in the deeper holes. Use soft vibes and soft plastics to jig off the bottom slowly. Upstream work the snags and mangroves for Mangrove Jack, Cod and typical by catches of Flathead and Bream.
