Best Tide State to Fish Malabar (Long Bay ledges)
These ledges fish best when the open coast does not — the bay faces roughly southeast but the inner northern rock is shielded, so it holds up through nor'east winds and moderate swell that close the exposed platforms. The falling tide is the productive window for luderick and trevally, the top of the tide suits bream, and the tide change suits squid. It blows out when a big southeast or east swell wraps straight into the bay, or when heavy rain dirties the water and drops the squid and bream right off. On a clean, settled day with a run-out tide and low light, it is as reliable as eastern-suburbs land-based fishing gets.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Malabar (Long Bay ledges) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, luderick, yellowtail kingfish, southern calamari (squid), and silver trevally.
