Best tide state to fish Honeymoon Bay (Kalumburu / McGowan Island / Napier Broome Bay)
This is a strict dry-season fishery — Honeymoon Bay operates April to November, and the Kalumburu Road often becomes impassable in the wet. The road has several water crossings, so early-season trips depend on how late the last rain fell — check road reports before leaving the Gibb River Road. There are no formal ramps, so the tide decides when a tinnie goes on and off the beach. The back end of the season heats up into the build-up before the wet shuts the road for another year.
What anglers target here
