Fish the Mackerel Islands, Western Australia
Fish tales start here! Home to the Pilbara’s fishiest waters, many a fishing legend will happily recount the number of times they reeled in a thumping great Red Emperor, GT or Sailfish. The Mackerel Islands are the one fishing spot you can tell everyone about – there’s plenty to go around! Whatever your fishing style, boat fishing, beach fishing, or fly fishing, you’ll find all the action right here.
Experience the species-rich waters surrounding the Mackerel Islands and discover some of our favourite fishing spots such as the famous Rosily Cay, or secret snorkelling bays, home to an abundance of fish life and crayfish.
You can also bring your own boat and join one of our week long Seafari tag-a-long events. Seafaris offer a fun, social and safe way to explore the Mackerel Islands with like-minded people, led by fishing guides and local experts to fast track your chance of fishing success.
Boat fishing
Surrounded by coral reefs, the Mackerel Islands are situated amongst some of the best fishing grounds in Australia. With your boat conveniently moored at the islands, getting to these fishing havens is only a matter of minutes, which means less time travelling out, more time fishing!
Beach fishing
Feel the stresses of everyday life melt away when you try your hand at some relaxing beach fishing. Beautiful quiet beaches with deep channels, reefs and sand flats surround the Mackerel Islands, so your own secluded fishing spot is never far away and just waiting to be discovered.
fly fishing
Very few places in Australia can produce the amount of saltwater action enjoyed at the Mackerel Islands, and fly fishing is no exception. We’ve hosted individuals as well as groups of up to 30 people, producing upward of 70 species of fish in a week, including mega class fish. Truly a fly fisher’s dream.
