Best Tide State to Fish Red Point (Hill 60)

This is a low-swell spot. It fishes best on a swell under about 1.5m with light to moderate west, north-west or north winds holding the platform clean, ideally on a rising tide into a high in the early morning. A fresh easterly or southerly swell stacks white water onto the ledges and makes the lower marks dangerous and unfishable; that is the day to walk away. Warm, blue water pushing in on the current switches on the pelagics, while a cold green push tends to favour the snapper and blackfish. If the wash is washing right over the platform, it is blown out — there is no safe version of fishing big swell here.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Red Point (Hill 60) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, tailor, bonito, yellowtail kingfish, and snapper.
