Best tide state to fish Avoca Point
The platform faces broadly east to south-east and takes ocean swell square on, so it fishes best on a low to moderate swell — under about 1.5m — with light to moderate west or south-west winds blowing offshore. A rising tide into the top of the high pushes whitewater into the gutters and lifts the luderick and drummer bite; the spinning is a dawn game regardless of tide. It blows out fast when an east or south-east swell builds, when sets start washing the lower ledges, or when a strong onshore wind chops the wash to foam. After heavy rain the nearby lake and runoff can colour the inshore water and slow the bite. When the swell's up, this is a day to fish somewhere sheltered, not to test the ledge.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Avoca Point typically time sessions around the tide for luderick, rock blackfish, yellowfin bream, yellowtail kingfish, and bonito.
