Best Tide State to Fish Christmas Cove & Hog Bay (Penneshaw)
Penneshaw faces north-north-east across Hog Bay into Backstairs Passage, so southerly and south-westerly winds blow off the land and give the best conditions. Northerlies and north-easterlies put the passage straight onto the breakwater and the beach. The passage is only 14 km wide with strong tidal currents running through it, which means it becomes genuinely rough on very little wind and stays that way after the wind drops. Summer south-easterlies shut the water east of Cape St Albans down for small boats. Tidal current rather than tidal range is the lever here, so read the movement rather than the height. Late afternoon into evening is the sourced best window for tommies, snook and the rest of the light-tackle fishing.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Christmas Cove & Hog Bay (Penneshaw) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, australian herring (tommy ruff), king george whiting, silver whiting, and snook.
