Best Tide State to Fish Shoalhaven Heads Entrance
The basin is sheltered from swell, so it fishes in most weather, though a strong north-easter or southerly makes the open flats hard work with light line. Whether the mouth is open is the biggest variable — when it is shut, Comerong Island can be reached on foot across the sand, which tells you how often the sand wins. When it is open, the run-out after a high tide is the trigger; when it is closed, water temperature and wind matter more than the tide. Heavy rain in the Shoalhaven catchment browns the water quickly and can break the mouth open within days.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Shoalhaven Heads Entrance typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, luderick, and australian salmon.
