The Busselton Jetty is a legendary fishing spot, producing a wide range of species along its length.
Bread and butter species like herring, skippy and squid are most commonly caught, but bigger fare such as samson fish, mulloway, tuna and salmon also turn up at times.

It is a similar story around Dunsborough, which is also noted for being a hot spot when the salmon are running. Popular spots for encountering schools of salmon include Bunker Bay and Rocky Point, Point Picquet and Castle Rock, but the schools can turn up anywhere along this stretch. Offshore anglers target dhufish and pink snapper around structure.
North of Busselton, Peppermint Beach can be good for tailor, mulloway and herring.
