Best Tide State to Fish Clovelly / Gordons Bay

Both bays face roughly east-southeast and open to the swell, so they fish best in light winds and a swell under about 1.5m. A westerly offshore flattens the platform nicely; a strong southerly or any solid ocean swell washes the lower ledges and shuts it down. Tide changes lift the bite for luderick, bream and trevally, with the run-out and the last of the run-in the pick. On clear, calm days work the two hours either side of high water; under cloud the surface fish will play across most of the tide. After heavy rain the bays colour up and the luderick bite drops away.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Clovelly / Gordons Bay typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, luderick, yellowfin bream, eastern blue groper, and tailor.
