Best Tide State to Fish Balls Head Reserve (Waverton)
The southern face looks straight up and down the main harbour, so a westerly or south-westerly pushes chop onto the ledges while a northerly leaves them in the lee of the headland. There is no ocean swell this far inside the Heads; the swell that matters is wake from ferries, tugs and larger vessels in the channel, which surges onto low shelves well after the boat has gone. A moving tide matters more than the wind, because the run past the point carries the bait and the pelagics with it. After heavy rain the upper harbour runs brown and the bite slows for a couple of days.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Balls Head Reserve (Waverton) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, australian salmon, yellowfin bream, silver trevally, and tarwhine.
