Best tide state to fish North Haven Breakwater
The breakwaters were built to break the swell, so the inside and the channel stay fishable in conditions that shut the open coast. Gulf St Vincent is tidal, and the entrance fishes best on a moving tide — the last of the run-out into the dark is the standout for mulloway, while the salmon and bread-and-butter species feed across both tide changes. A strong south-westerly puts a cross-wind across the exposed wall and makes light-line work miserable; a still evening or a light easterly off the land is the pick. After heavy rain or a big blow the entrance can colour up and the squid-style sight fishing falls away.
What anglers target here
