Best Tide State to Fish Ballast Point Park (Birchgrove)
The point is inside the harbour and never sees ocean swell, so it fishes in most weather. Its eastern tip is exposed to an easterly or north-easter blowing up the harbour, which chops up the water in front, while a westerly puts it in the lee of the peninsula. Tide run past the point does more for the fishing than anything in the forecast, with slack water the slow patch. After heavy rain the upper harbour runs dirty for a few days and the bite slows.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Ballast Point Park (Birchgrove) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, silver trevally, mulloway, dusky flathead, and tarwhine.
