Best tide state to fish Whyalla Jetty (Circular Jetty & Marina)
Upper Spencer Gulf is warm, shallow and tidal. Springs run close to three metres and expose the flats a long way out; the fortnightly dodge tide cancels the rise and fall almost entirely for a day and flattens the fishing with it. The prevailing wind is south to south-easterly, and in summer a south-westerly sea breeze arrives early afternoon and knocks five to eight degrees off a 35-degree day — welcome, but it chops the water on the deck. The jetty is sheltered from the north and east by the town. Summer water reaches 23 to 24 degrees for yellowfin whiting, crabs and snook; winter drops to around 13 for salmon trout, mullet and clean water on the flats. Rain is rare enough that the gulf almost never discolours from runoff.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Whyalla Jetty (Circular Jetty & Marina) typically time sessions around the tide for southern garfish, australian herring (tommy ruff), blue swimmer crab, yellowfin whiting, and king george whiting.
