Best Tide State to Fish Moruya River South Breakwall (Shelly Beach)

The northern wall and the bar take most of the swell, so the south wall stays fishable in seas that close the open rocks, though a big south-easterly still pushes surge up the channel. North-easterly sea breezes blow up the river in summer afternoons, which makes dawn and evening the comfortable windows. Run-out tide is the trigger for salmon, tailor and kingfish, while bream and whiting fish better on the flood over the sand. Heavy rain turns the river brown for days and pushes flathead and bait down to the mouth.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Moruya River South Breakwall (Shelly Beach) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, sand whiting, luderick, and australian salmon.
