Best tide state to fish Pelican Foreshore
Being a sheltered lake foreshore, it fishes in far more weather than the open coast and rarely fully blows out. The water sits cleanest and the bite is most reliable on a moving tide near the channel — the run-out and the turn are the windows. A strong onshore wind chops up the flat and dirties the shallows, pushing the better fishing to the calmer early-morning and evening sessions. After heavy rain the lake can colour and freshen and the whiting bite drops away until it clears. Calm, clear, warm conditions on a moving tide are the pick.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Pelican Foreshore typically time sessions around the tide for sand whiting, dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, luderick, and tarwhine.
