Best tide state to fish Henley Beach Jetty
The jetty faces west into Gulf St Vincent, so it sits exposed to the afternoon sea breeze and to any westerly weather pushing across the gulf. Calm, warm, still evenings are the prime window — the garfish, tommies and squid all switch on once the wind drops out and the surface settles. A strong westerly or south-westerly puts chop and weed through the area and blows the float fishing out. The gulf is tidal with modest range; the run-in tide tends to push bait and fish toward the structure, and low-light around the tide change is when it fishes best.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Henley Beach Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for southern garfish, australian herring (tommy ruff), southern calamari (squid), yelloweye mullet, and yellowfin whiting.
