Best Tide State to Fish Merimbula Wharf

The wharf is on the northern shore of Merimbula Bay and faces south across it, so the headland shelters it from northerlies and north-easterlies, while a southerly blows straight in. Clean blue water and a light breeze give the best squid and snapper fishing. After heavy rain, dirty water from Merimbula Lake and Merimbula Creek can push out across the bay and slow the bite. Low light at dawn and dusk matters more than the tide here.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Merimbula Wharf typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), snapper, yellowfin bream, flathead, and tailor.
