Best tide state to fish Yarra Bay (Phillip Bay)
Yarra Bay faces south into Botany Bay and is sheltered from the open ocean swell, so it stays fishable in conditions that shut the outside rock and beach spots down. A southerly blows straight in and chops the bay up, while northerly and westerly winds are offshore here and leave the water clean and calm. A rising tide that floods the sand flats is the prime whiting and flathead window, and the breakwall fishes best on the run-in toward dusk. Heavy rain runs dirty water out of the catchment and the bite tends to drop until it clears.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Yarra Bay (Phillip Bay) typically time sessions around the tide for sand whiting, yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, southern calamari (squid), and skipjack trevally (skippy).
