Best tide state to fish Glenelg Jetty
The jetty faces roughly west into Gulf St Vincent, so it cops the afternoon sea breeze and southwesterly cross-winds head-on — those are the days the squid bite shuts down as the water dirties. It fishes best on calm, clear evenings, particularly a still night after a run of light winds when the water settles and the lights pull bait. Gulf St Vincent tides are modest, but a moving tide around dusk or dawn is the prime window. After a strong blow or onshore weather the water colours up and the squid go quiet, though that same rough weather can switch the whiting on at the very end.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Glenelg Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), garfish, australian herring, yelloweye mullet, and snook.
