Best Tide State to Fish Rip Bridge (Brisbane Water)
This is a sheltered estuary, so it fishes in almost any swell and most wind — the surrounding land blocks the worst of it and there is no open-coast wash to contend with. The limiting factor is the tide, not the weather: the current under and around the bridge runs swift, so the best fishing is the slack and the change rather than the peak of the run, when it can be too fast to hold bottom. A strong westerly will chop up the open bay and dirty the water after rain, which slows the bream and whiting; a couple of clear days afterwards usually sees it switch back on. Bigger tides around the new and full moon move the most bait and fire up the flathead and jewfish.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Rip Bridge (Brisbane Water) typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, mulloway, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, and luderick.
