Best Tide State to Fish The Spit (Middle Harbour)
Tucked deep inside Middle Harbour, the Spit is sheltered from ocean swell entirely and fishes through wind that would shut the open coast down — it is a reliable bad-weather fallback. The run-out tide is the engine of the place; the flats and channel edges fire as the water drains and go quiet on a slack high. A clear incoming after a run of still days is when the flats sight-fishing is at its best, while heavy rain dirties the harbour and knocks the bite for a day or two. Strong afternoon nor'-easters in summer can chop up the open foreshore, but the bridge and the bays either side always leave a sheltered corner to fish.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing The Spit (Middle Harbour) typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, silver trevally, and southern calamari (squid).
