Best tide state to fish Brooklyn (Hawkesbury River)

This is sheltered estuary water, so it fishes through wind that would flatten the open coast — the river is wide here but the surrounding ridges break most of the breeze. Tide does the heavy lifting: the run-out and run-in around the change push bait along the structure, and the bigger new and full-moon tides bring the strongest jewfish bite while also ripping hard through the bridge. Heavy rain upriver dirties the water and can colour the bite up for a few days, pushing fish down towards the cleaner salt near the mouth. Calm, clear water after a settled spell is prime for sight-casting bream on the pylons.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Brooklyn (Hawkesbury River) typically time sessions around the tide for mulloway (jewfish), yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, yellowtail kingfish, and luderick.
