Best Tide State to Fish Lemon Tree Passage Public Wharf (Henderson Park)

The passage is sheltered from ocean swell, so wind and tide decide the session. A strong wind blowing along the channel chops up the wharf face and makes light float work hard going. Tide flow through the narrow channel is strong, which is good for the pylon fish but means heavier sinkers on the big moon tides and lighter ones around the turn. After heavy rain, Tilligerry Creek runs dark and fresh past the wharf for days; clean, salty water on a building tide is the time to come.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Lemon Tree Passage Public Wharf (Henderson Park) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, luderick, dusky flathead, sand whiting, and mulloway.
