Best Tide State to Fish Blues Point Reserve (McMahons Point)

Inside the harbour the point never sees ocean swell, so it fishes in weather that shuts the open coast. A westerly blows straight down the channel from Balls Head and puts chop on the wall, while a north-easter tucks it in the lee of the reserve. The real movement is wash from the ferries, charter boats and commercial traffic funnelling toward the Bridge, which arrives as a surge against the seawall long after the boat has passed. The tide run past the corner is what switches the bite on; slack water is the quiet patch.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Blues Point Reserve (McMahons Point) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, australian salmon, mulloway, yellowfin bream, and silver trevally.
