Best Tide State to Fish Port Neill Jetty
The prevailing wind here is an onshore south-easterly that chops Spencer Gulf into something not worth fishing, and Mottled Cove is the exception — that is the entire reason boats launch here when the coast either side is blown out. Clear water after a calm spell is what the gar want, and what the calamari will want again one day; a blow that dirties the bay usually kills the deck session and switches the beaches on instead. Spencer Gulf runs semi-diurnal tides with a fortnightly dodge, and on those days the water goes nowhere and the fish generally agree, so plan around a running tide at dawn or dusk. Winter brings the whiting closer. Summer is snook, beach whiting and holiday traffic.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Port Neill Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring (tommy ruff), southern garfish, snook, king george whiting, and southern calamari (squid).
