Best Tide State to Fish Port Vincent Wharf
The bay opens to the south-east, so the summer sea breeze blows the afternoon fishing out — mornings and evenings are the windows, and the evening is when the wharf fishes best anyway. Gulf St Vincent tides are semi-diurnal with the fortnightly dodge tide, when the water barely moves and the bites go quiet with it. Warm months bring the crabs, the yellowfin whiting and the holiday fleet; autumn is the mullet's season; winter thins the crowds and the catch alike.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Port Vincent Wharf typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring (tommy ruff), yelloweye mullet, blue swimmer crab, yellowfin whiting, and black bream.
