Best Tide State to Fish Camp Cove (Watsons Bay)
Camp Cove faces north into the harbour, so it is sheltered from the southerly buster and most ocean swell, and it stays fishable when the open coast is blown out. A northerly blows straight in and chops the cove up, and a big southerly swell can still wrap around South Head and dirty the water. Tide matters more than wind here: a moving tide — the run-in is the pick — pushes bait and current past both points and switches the squid and kingfish on. Early morning and the last hour of light are the windows, partly for the fish and partly to beat the crowds. After heavy rain the inner-harbour water colours up and the squidding falls away until it clears.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Camp Cove (Watsons Bay) typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), yellowtail kingfish, yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, and sand whiting.
