Best Tide State to Fish Snapper Rocks
A small south-east or easterly swell with light westerly or south-westerly wind is ideal, giving workable white water without waves washing over the rocks. Big south swells make the outer rocks dangerous and draw a crowd of surfers into the bay. The water is clearest on a high tide with northerly currents. Dawn and dusk fish best for tailor, and a change of light around the top of the tide is when bream and luderick switch on.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Snapper Rocks typically time sessions around the tide for tailor, yellowfin bream, swallowtail dart, luderick, and mulloway (jewfish).
