Best tide state to fish Port Noarlunga Jetty

The reef is the whole story — it shelters the inshore pocket from south-west swell, so the jetty fishes when open beaches are unworkable, and a moderate winter swell pushing salmon inside the reef is exactly what you want. A rising tide into the evening is prime for tommies, gar and whiting. It blows out on a strong southerly or south-westerly that throws cross-wind down the exposed deck and chops up the trapped water; a big swell that washes over the reef makes the outer end uncomfortable and dangerous. Light winds, an incoming tide and a touch of swell around dawn or dusk is the combination to chase.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Port Noarlunga Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, australian herring, king george whiting, yelloweye mullet, and snook.
