Best Tide State to Fish Outer Harbor Breakwater

The mark fishes best on the turn of the tide, and the moving water through the channel is what brings fish onto the deep face. Light morning and evening winds and clear water are ideal. A strong south-westerly or a building sea pushes swell and chop through the entrance and dirties the water, which is the time to fish a sheltered jetty instead. Calm, overcast conditions on a tide change are the pick.

What Anglers Target Here
