Frustrations Species


Mulloway can be quite plentifull at Frustrations , the key to a sucessfull hookup is fresh Mullet (Live or Strips) , fish the northern end where the beach is , heavy sinkers will be needed in moderate swell.

 


Pink Snapper are also caught at Frustrations , best results for a pinkie is to fish from the reef itself , snags will be quite common but if you want pinkies this is your best option.

 

Fishing Fussies

   
 


A photo of Frustrations Reef 200m North of the Rivermouth

Fishing Frustrations reef can be dangerous as can be seen by the above photo , please be aware this photo was taken on a calm day.

Frustrations reef is approx 200m north of the Kalbarri Rivermouth and boasts some of the finest Mulloway hotspots in Kalbarri , with fish caught in excess of 30kg.
Other fish species have included Spanish Mackerel , Pink Snapper , Baldchin Groper , Tailor , Tarwine , Samson fish & Big Sharks.

And as the name says Frustration is what most of us encounter , with snags , huge bust off's and of course you have your good and bad days with no fish , but hey thats fishing , time and patience is needed here , best times are after dark , but DO NOT fish the REEF itself after dark as it is dangerous , just move to either end where there is a beach section


Frustrations Beach "Northern End"

This spot here is dynamite for monster Mulloway and Sharks , there are rumours of a massive Cod that will run with your bait for a few meters and then you have lost your gear on what feels like a snag.

This is your safest option for night fishing , as there is deep water , not too many snags and an easy gaff point.

To get to Frustrations you will need your own boat to cross the river and walk , or you can see Kalbarri Boat Hire www.kalbarriboathire.com to organize a lift over the river.

Frustrations Species 


Big Sharks are often hooked but very rarely landed , if you wish to play with these guys just catch a Tarwine , slab it and cast it in the northern beach end and hang on

 

Tailor are cuaght at Frussies throughout the day , however best time is just before dusk until nightfall , Mullies are the best bait on a 4/0 ganged hook and a 4 - 5 oz star sinker
