Best tide state to fish Emu Point (Albany)

Sheltered water inside King George Sound, protected from the southerly swell that dominates the open coast — this fishes on days when Salmon Holes and the south-facing beaches are out of the question. The tide is the variable that matters: flow through the narrow channel concentrates bait and fish, and slack water is noticeably slower. Clarity is generally good and drops after heavy rain pushes tannin water out of Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River. Wind is manageable here in most directions, which is much of the appeal in a region where it usually is not.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Emu Point (Albany) typically time sessions around the tide for king george whiting, western school whiting, southern calamari (squid), australian herring, and garfish.
