Best Tide State to Fish Bass Point
The point faces a broad arc of open ocean, so south and east swell wraps onto the ledges and the lower marks wash out fast once the swell pushes past about 1.5m. A light westerly or a calm dawn before the nor'easter fills in is the prime window — offshore wind flattens the wash and lets you cast metals and float livies cleanly. The rising tide into the top of the change concentrates bait against the rocks and is when the kingfish and snapper switch on. After a big southerly blow or heavy rain the water colours up and the bite drops away until it clears.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Bass Point typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, snapper, australian salmon, tailor, and bonito.
