Best tide state to fish Port Giles Jetty
The berth is dredged to 14.7 metres and the channel to 13.5, which is why this platform fishes unlike anything else on the coast — deep, clean water, closer to an offshore mark than a shore session. The everyday rules still apply: a running tide beats the fortnightly dodge tide, dawn and dusk beat midday, and the cooler months carry the better whiting. But the variable that actually decides your day is the gate. A ship alongside, a maintenance crew on the deck or a raised security level all mean no fishing, whatever the barometer says.
What anglers target here
