Best Tide State to Fish Shaws Bay Training Wall (Ballina)

Sheltered from ocean swell by the North Wall and the river mouth, the wall fishes in weather that shuts the entrance. Strong southerlies blow straight up the river and make the river side choppy, and the lagoon side is the calmer choice then. The run-in tide at dusk is the window for bream, tailor and jacks; clean water suits the luderick and whiting. Heavy rain browns the river side and slows the whiting.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Shaws Bay Training Wall (Ballina) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, sand whiting, luderick, tailor, and dusky flathead.
