Best Tide State to Fish St Georges Basin (Island Point jetty)
The basin is sheltered from ocean swell, so the jetty fishes in most weather. Island Point faces south across the open basin, which means a fresh southerly or south-easter blows straight onto the pontoon and chops up the shallows, while a northerly leaves it in the lee. The tide reaches the basin through the long Sussex Inlet channel, so it is smaller and later than on the open coast — wind and light matter more here than the tide table. After heavy rain the creeks run brown into the basin and the water can stay coloured for days.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing St Georges Basin (Island Point jetty) typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, and tailor.
