Best Tide State to Fish 42 Mile Crossing (Coorong)
This is a fully exposed Southern Ocean beach, so a westerly or south-westerly shuts it down and an offshore easterly cleans it up. The steepness is the asset — it is why the gutters form close to the sand and why the fishing works at all. Tides matter twice over: a rising tide for the mulloway, and a low tide for anyone driving. Dawn or dusk landing on a high tide is the regional rule for beach fishing, and this beach honours it. Summer and autumn bring the best travelling weather, while winter floods Tea Tree Crossing and turns the whole run into a different proposition. The Bonney Upwelling and the Murray's outflow both feed this system, which is why a beach with nothing on it holds so much. Parks SA's own warning is that tides here are unpredictable and can turn quickly, which is about how fast the water comes back across a flat beach you are standing or driving on.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing 42 Mile Crossing (Coorong) typically time sessions around the tide for mulloway, australian salmon, yelloweye mullet, gummy shark, and snapper.
