Best Tide State to Fish Emu Bay Jetty
Emu Bay faces north, which makes it the mirror image of Kingscote and the reason the pair works so well as a set. Southerly and south-westerly weather blows offshore here and gives the calm, dune-sheltered inshore water the bay is known for. A northerly ruins the lot — swell in the ramp, chop on the jetty, and boat handling the guides politely call difficult. The water on this coast is generally clear, which is good for spotting and hard on wary whiting. There are no deep gutters on this beach the way there are on the south coast, so the whiting sit in sandy holes among the weed and you fish structure rather than surf. Kangaroo Island's tidal range is small and its currents matter more than its heights.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Emu Bay Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring (tommy ruff), king george whiting, yelloweye mullet, flathead, and australian salmon.
