Best tide state to fish South Yunderup (Murray Delta Canals)

Tidal saltwater at the bottom end of an undammed river, opening straight into the Peel Inlet, with no ocean swell to consider at all. The rising tide is the productive phase and it is not a mild preference — the flats drain, and the push back in is what puts bream onto the sand and seagrass. Wind chop across shallow water is the limiting factor, so the afternoon sea breeze does more damage here than any swell forecast ever could. Black bream come on from October and hold into early winter, while whiting fish year-round with the warm months clearly the best of it. The delta stays workable in most weather, largely because there is nothing here for a swell to do.
