Best Tide State to Fish Gunnamatta Bay Baths / Gunnamatta Park (Cronulla)

Tucked inside Port Hacking and shielded by the Cronulla peninsula, the bay is well-protected from ocean swell and fishes through conditions that shut the rock platforms down. A southerly or south-easterly buster has little reach in here, which is its whole appeal. A hard westerly will put a chop across the bay and make casting toward the moored boats awkward, and dead-slack tides go quiet — time your session around the tide change. After heavy rain the upper estuary can dirty and freshen, which tends to push the bream and flathead bite to the cleaner water nearer the bay mouth.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Gunnamatta Bay Baths / Gunnamatta Park (Cronulla) typically time sessions around the tide for sand whiting, dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, tailor, and luderick.
