Best tide state to fish Wallaroo Jetty
The jetty reaches west over Wallaroo Bay, so westerly and south-westerly weather puts sea and colour straight onto it — which is exactly when the old snapper hands fished it, for whatever that is worth until mid-2027. Easterlies come off the land and flatten the bay, and clear, settled water is what the gar and (one day again) the squid want. Spencer Gulf tides are semi-diurnal with the fortnightly dodge tide, when the water barely moves for a day and the fishing usually moves with it — plan around a running tide at dawn or dusk. Winter brings the whiting within range and the bigger evening tommies; summer is crabs, gar and holiday crowds.
What anglers target here
