Best tide state to fish Mrs Macquaries Point / Chair
Tucked inside the harbour, the point is sheltered from ocean swell and fishes in conditions that shut the open coast down completely, which is its biggest drawcard. A moving tide is what matters here far more than wind — the run-in for tailor and the change of tide for the bigger fish. A fresh westerly blows straight off the city and can make the eastern face uncomfortable, while a southerly buster brings wind chop and dirty water that slows the bite for a day or two afterwards. After heavy rain the harbour freshens and colours up; give it a couple of days to settle and the fishing returns.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Mrs Macquaries Point / Chair typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, tailor, mulloway (jewfish), and yellowtail kingfish.
