Best Tide State to Fish West Lakes (Trimmer Parade Inlet)
Being a near-enclosed lake, the inlet is largely sheltered and fishes in almost any weather that would blow out the open gulf jetties — wind chop is the main nuisance rather than swell. Tide is everything: the saltwater gate opens on a decent incoming tide — regulars reckon somewhere around 1.6 to 1.8m at Grange — and that surge of clean water and current is when the inlet fires. Slack water and the run-out are slower. Heavy rain dirties the system through stormwater and can flatten the bite for a day or two, and a hot, still summer afternoon is better fished at dawn or dusk than in the glare.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing West Lakes (Trimmer Parade Inlet) typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, mulloway, yelloweye mullet, australian salmon, and king george whiting.
