Find out what we learned from analysing 20,000 fishing reports about moon times and fish.

Summer Fishing

King George Whiting, Flathead, Pinkie Snapper, Australian Salmon and Squid can be targeted at the location during summer. Activity is strongest for these species during the warmer part of the year. Actual catches will vary according to temperature trends, localised weather and tides.

Autumn Fishing

australian-salmon are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.

Winter Fishing

Garfish are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this location is no different. Fish can be slower to bite with reduced activity levels. As always what you catch varies with the prevalent temperature trends, localised weather and of course tides.

Spring Fishing

Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with Garfish becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as King George Whiting, Flathead, Pinkie Snapper, Australian Salmon and Squid begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.

McCRae Rock Wall Fishing

Well known for its King George Whiting catches it has a rich environment consisting of sea grasses and large patches of sandy bottom. This tends to attract a lot of prey species which the Whiting of course come in to eat. It is a shallow area so its best fished at High Tide. Sunset and evening are best.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at McCRae Rock Wall, today?

No. Because a forecast cannot truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report derived species history.

Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. We hope you enjoy using Getfished to find your next great fishing spot!
