Best Tide State to Fish Bottle and Glass Point (Nielsen Park, Vaucluse)

This is a harbour rock point, so it is far more forgiving than the open-ocean ledges — but it still has moods. It fishes best on a southerly, when wind and chop push bait against the southern rocks and the deeper water stays fishable. A strong northeasterly summer sea breeze blows straight onto the point and makes float work and bait presentation awkward, and a big ocean southerly swell wrapping into the harbour will wash the lower ledges and is a sign to move up onto higher rock or fish elsewhere. The tide changes — top and bottom — concentrate the fish, with the run-out prime for luderick and the top of the tide for bream.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Bottle and Glass Point (Nielsen Park, Vaucluse) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, yellowfin bream, luderick, southern calamari (squid), and mulloway.
