Best Tide State to Fish Beachport Jetty

Rivoli Bay is Southern Ocean water — the town corner offers some protection, but wind and swell find the jetty in any decent blow, and the outer end cops it worst. The pattern is simple. Calm, clear spells fish best for squid, gar and whiting over the weed; a bit of working sea suits the salmon; a genuine gale suits the pub. Most of the jetty's length covers shallow sand and seagrass with modestly deeper water at the sea end, so fish move through with the tide rather than living under the deck — which is why the locals fish the hour either side of it. Winter pushes the big salmon schools through the bay with the gummies in behind them; summer brings the calm-evening squid sessions and the families.

What Anglers Target Here
