Best Tide State to Fish Horseshoe Bay Jetty (Port Elliot)

The bay faces roughly east and is hemmed by headlands on both flanks, so it shrugs off the prevailing south-westerly swell and stays fishable when Waitpinga and Middleton are blown out. A strong easterly or south-easterly is the one wind that pushes straight in and dirties the water — that is the day to fish elsewhere. The run-up tide into low light is the reliable window for salmon, herring and gar. Squid want clear water, so the spell of settled weather after a swell drops away is prime; a couple of days of onshore wind colours the bay and shuts the jigging down.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Horseshoe Bay Jetty (Port Elliot) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, australian herring (tommy ruff), southern garfish, southern calamari (squid), and yelloweye mullet.
