Best tide state to fish Lilli Pilli Point & Baths

This is a sheltered estuary mark that fishes in almost any weather — the north-shore aspect and the surrounding land take the sting out of the prevailing southerlies and the nor'-easter. Swell does not reach it, so the main spoiler is heavy freshwater run-off after sustained rain, which colours the river and pushes the fish around. Wind is more a comfort issue than a fishing one, and a light breeze with a moving tide is ideal. The deep channel means it stays workable on the bigger tides when shallower spots blow out.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Lilli Pilli Point & Baths typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, sand whiting, luderick, and skipjack trevally (skippy).
