Best Tide State to Fish Port Broughton Jetty
Mundoora Arm Inlet is the most sheltered water on this stretch of coast and the reason people drive here when the forecast is ugly. Upper Spencer Gulf tides are semi-diurnal with a pronounced fortnightly dodge, and in water this shallow the dodge matters — an evening rising tide is the stated prime window and a dead dodge tide is a good day for the heritage walk. The water is shallow and clear over seagrass and sand, which is why the fine-tackle doctrine works and heavy gear does not. Winter is the yellowfin whiting season here, and the warmer months bring garfish, crabs and the mullet. One honest caveat about the water: a second wave of the algal bloom was forecast in news reports in May 2026 to reach upper Spencer Gulf between August and October 2026, which is now, though no PIRSA or state bloom update has confirmed that forecast. Nearly a thousand dead fish, mostly baitfish and sardines, had washed ashore in the gulf by that point, so check local reports before committing to a long drive.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Port Broughton Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin whiting, blue swimmer crab, australian herring (tommy ruff), southern garfish, and yelloweye mullet.
