Best Tide State to Fish Vivonne Bay Jetty
Vivonne Bay faces south-south-west straight into the Southern Ocean, so northerly and north-easterly winds blow offshore and give the settled conditions the night session needs. Anything with south in it puts swell into the bay, and swell rather than wind is usually the deciding factor because it arrives from thousands of kilometres of open water regardless of the local forecast. Kangaroo Island's tidal range is small, and on this coast the surf and swell state matters far more than tide height. The one exception is the Harriet River mouth, where the estuary channel and whether the mouth is open or closed govern the bream fishing. The night tommy session and the winter trevally both want a settled forecast rather than a particular tide. Calling this the sheltered option on the south coast is accurate and not much of a compliment.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Vivonne Bay Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring (tommy ruff), silver trevally, king george whiting, southern calamari (squid), and southern garfish.
