Best tide state to fish Point Turton Jetty

Hardwicke Bay opens to the north-west, so the jetty is sheltered in a southerly and gets knocked about in a north-wester. Spencer Gulf tides are semi-diurnal with a fortnightly dodge that stalls the water, but the real limiting factor here is the weather rather than the tide height: the whole night programme of big tommies, gar dabbing and flounder spearing wants a dead-calm, clear, moonless evening. Warm summer evenings are the headline season and draw most of the visiting anglers. Whiting are described as consistent right through the year, though that line is about the boat grounds north and west of the ramp rather than the deck itself. The algal bloom reached Point Turton in late January 2026, and PIRSA's situation update of 28 July 2026 still recorded elevated levels along the Hardwicke Bay coast, so recent seasons here have not been normal ones and the catch reports should be read with that in mind.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Point Turton Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring, snook, garfish, king george whiting, and flathead.
