Best tide state to fish Patonga (Hawkesbury River)
Tucked inside Brisk Bay and the creek mouth, Patonga is sheltered and fishes through most weather that shuts the open coast down. The flats fish best on a moving tide — the first of the run-out is the classic window — and go quiet on the slack. A southerly or strong onshore can put chop and colour through the bay, and heavy rain in the catchment dirties the water and pushes the estuary fish around. Calm, clear mornings on a building or falling tide are the pick.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Patonga (Hawkesbury River) typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, mulloway (jewfish), yellowfin bream, sand whiting, and luderick.
