White Lake in Gingin: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  White Lake is one of the Gingin listings for Western Australia. The sea is 33 km distant. With some 76 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. For a base, Bindoon sits 33 km out. Two Rocks lies 36 km off, Yanchep another 39 km. Alternatives close at hand: Beermullah Lake near enough 3.5 km, Caladenia Lake 15 km away, Nowergup Lake near enough 46 km, Lake Adams 53 km away and Mariginiup Lake near enough 55 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on White Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Anyone new to White Lake should walk it once before setting up. When the water is clear, go lighter and further out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 26°C for February and 13°C for July. The whole calendar is open, with dawn and dusk the productive hours in summer. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. March through May and September through November are the strong stretches. On White Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Beermullah Lake is 3.5 km off. For White Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
