Best Tide State to Fish Shellharbour Boat Harbour
The harbour is sheltered and fishes in most conditions, holding up for bream, whiting and flathead when southerly busters and big swell shut down the open beaches and headlands. A run-in tide into the change, on dawn or dusk, is the prime window. The adjacent points and ledges face the open ocean, so they wash out and turn dangerous in solid south-easterly swell — that is when retreat to the inside of the harbour. After heavy rain the water colours up and the bite slows for a day or two; the luderick fishing actually improves on the cooler, greener water through autumn.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Shellharbour Boat Harbour typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, sand whiting, luderick, and australian salmon.
