Best tide state to fish Browns Beach (Innes National Park)

Browns faces west into open water off the foot of Yorke Peninsula, so it takes the full Southern Ocean swell train and the prevailing westerlies, while easterlies and north-easterlies come off the land and clean it up. The tide is the trigger and it is the single most repeated piece of advice about this beach: salmon schools move inside the reef into the lagoon on a rising tide. Winter is the best season, though salmon are caught in some number all year. The mullet run is an autumn event, and big evening high tides are the mulloway window. The park closes on days of Catastrophic Fire Danger, which is worth checking before a 311 km drive rather than after it. There is currently a park-wide alert for higher-than-normal feral bee activity, and the surfers' viewing platform at Pondalowie Bay is closed with storm damage.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Browns Beach (Innes National Park) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, yelloweye mullet, mulloway (jewfish), skipjack trevally (skippy), and tailor.
