Best tide state to fish Swallow Rock Reserve (Grays Point)
Being a sheltered upper-estuary reach, this spot fishes in almost anything the ocean throws at the coast — there is no swell and little chop, so it is the obvious call when the rock platforms and beaches are blown out. A westerly or a southerly that ruins the open water barely ripples the channel here. Tide matters far more than wind: the run-in is prime, the bottom of the low exposes flats and oyster rock and can leave you fishing skinny water, and a big spring high pushes fish right up against the bank. After heavy rain the upper Hacking dirties and freshens, which can shut the bite down for a day or two until it clears.
