Best tide state to fish Wirrina Cove Marina (Marina St Vincent)
The breakwaters face open Yankalilla Bay, so they fish best in light winds and a small swell — calm mornings before the afternoon sea breeze are prime, and the water clears beautifully on those days. Yankalilla Bay is reasonably sheltered compared with the open gulf, but a strong south-westerly through Backstairs Passage pushes chop and weed onto the walls and dirties the water, knocking the squid and whiting bite. Gulf St Vincent is tidal — work a moving tide, particularly the change into first or last light. After a blow it can take a day or two for the water to clean up again.
What anglers target here
