Best tide state to fish Clifton Gardens (Chowder Bay)
Tucked into Chowder Bay on the harbour's north shore, Clifton Gardens is well sheltered and fishes in most conditions short of a strong southerly funnelling up the bay. There is effectively no ocean swell here, so it is a reliable fallback when the open coast and the headlands are blown out. The bite keys off tide far more than wind — a moving tide through the change at dawn or dusk is the window for squid, kingfish and luderick alike, while dead slack water is usually flat. Heavy rain colours the harbour and slows the squid; give it a day or two to clear.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Clifton Gardens (Chowder Bay) typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), yellowfin bream, luderick, skipjack trevally (skippy), and yellowtail kingfish.
