Best tide state to fish Southend Jetty (Rivoli Bay)

Rivoli Bay is a broad bay with Beachport at the northern end and Southend at the southern, and the two ends shelter from different winds, so a forecast that ruins one often leaves the other workable. Jetty fishing follows the hour either side of the tide; beach fishing is best when dawn or dusk lands on a high tide. Snapper and whiting favour a filling tide from October to May, snapper preferring the high, while flathead switch on an hour either side of low. Offshore, the local rule is blunter — no run, no fun if there is no tide. The Bonney Upwelling underpins the whole system, pushing nutrient-rich water along this coast and feeding everything from the bait schools to the lobster fishery. Water here is often very clear, which favours squid and lure work.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Southend Jetty (Rivoli Bay) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, king george whiting, southern calamari (squid), garfish, and australian herring.
