Best tide state to fish Hamelin Bay

South-facing sheltered cove with offshore reef breaking the worst incoming SW swell. Fishes well in conditions that shut down the surf coast either side. Off-shore easterly holds the surface clean for the morning window. The bay shape means relatively predictable conditions; the autumn salmon run is the most reliable annual event. Water clarity is generally excellent — outstanding by South West standards thanks to the reef shelter and limited freshwater inputs. Stingrays in the shallows are a defining local feature.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Hamelin Bay typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, tailor, australian herring, skipjack trevally (skippy), and tarwhine.
