Best tide state to fish Kurnell (Silver Beach groynes)
This is a southerly-shore fishery: a southerly or south-westerly knocks the bay flat and the groynes fish cleanly, while a fresh northerly or north-easter blows straight onto them and turns the water dirty and uncomfortable. The walls are protected from open ocean swell by their position deep inside Botany Bay, so it takes a genuine blow to shut them down. Both run-in and run-out tides fish, but the run-out generally produces more bream and flathead as it pulls bait off the flats. Clearer water after a few dry days lifts the squid and whiting noticeably.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Kurnell (Silver Beach groynes) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, sand whiting, southern calamari (squid), and tailor.
