Heading over to rottnest on the weekend with the mrs and was just wondering if it is worth to wet a line off any of the beaches over there and what to target. Any information will help guys thanks.

Plenty of herring
You will get herring easily off any beach - set a streak, use blob / burley and you will get a feed. Tailor can be found at dusk in Bickley Bay - ocean side of Natural Jetty - mulie with no weight if possible although wind can be a problem. Sand whiting pretty easy to find with the bonus big KG to be had.

If the wind and swell is down
If the wind and swell is down try Radars down at the West End, check it out on Google Earth though so you know what to expect. You'll need some reef shoes as you've got to do a bit of walking out to the fun areas. Hell of a ride too but it can be worth it.
For somewhere a bit closer to the settlement area try the southern side of the spit down at Kingstown, try morning or evening with mulies for tailor.
Can always fish the Green Island or Thomson Bay jetties for some squid and herring if all else fails.
