Best tide state to fish Browns Rock (La Perouse)

Sitting on the Botany Bay flank of the headland, Browns Rock gets some shelter from straight southerly swell but still cops anything wrapping around from the south-east and east. It fishes best on a small to moderate swell with a moving tide and light to moderate winds; a westerly off the land keeps the platform clean and is ideal. Once the swell pushes past roughly 1.5–2m, or a big east or south-east set is running, the lower ledges wash and it is simply not worth fishing — wait it out or move. The run-up to the top of the tide and the change into dusk are the most reliable feeding windows. Always study the sets for a good ten minutes before committing to a low spot.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Browns Rock (La Perouse) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, rock blackfish, bonito, tailor, and skipjack trevally (skippy).
