Best Tide State to Fish Port Smith Lagoon (Purnturrpurnturr)
The holes fish best on the neaps and the creeks around the change, because the lagoon fills and drains twice a day on big Kimberley tides and the creeks drain down to their resting pools at low water. High tides can trap people below the cliffs and out on the flats, so never set off along the shore or across the flats on a rising tide. The dry season, roughly May to September, is the reliable window, with the road firm and the weather settled; the wet brings heat, storms, cyclone risk and a road that may not be passable.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Port Smith Lagoon (Purnturrpurnturr) typically time sessions around the tide for threadfin (blue and king threadfin), mangrove jack, bluebone (blackspot tuskfish), western yellowfin bream, and mud crab.
