Best tide state to fish Como Jetty (Swan River)

This is Melville Water — saltwater, with moderate tidal influence that lifts around the change. Tide movement drives the bream and whiting; slack water is slow. Easterly mornings fish calmest, and the afternoon Fremantle Doctor pushes across the open water from the west. Water clarity is generally good but colours up for a few days after heavy winter rain when the upper river silts the system. The jetty's length means part of it stays fishable even when the near-shore margin is wind-churned.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Como Jetty (Swan River) typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, flathead, yellowfin whiting (sand whiting), tailor, and mulloway (jewfish).
