Best tide state to fish Port Augusta Foreshore Jetty
Everything here inverts the usual advice. Winter is the productive season at the head of the gulf — gar, flathead and King George whiting all fish better in the cold, and the kingfish run is June to October — while summer heat warms the shallows enough to push fish deeper and make afternoon tides a waste of time. The summer game is early, on a morning high draining off the mangrove edges. Water clarity matters enormously for yellowfin whiting, which want calm and clear and will not tolerate dirty water. Tidal range at the top of a 300 km gulf is large and drives everything, and Spencer Gulf still runs its fortnightly dodge, which parks the water for a day. The bloodworm run after the July new moon flattens the bite for a spell, which is normal rather than bad luck.
What anglers target here
