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
Anglers fishing Wirrina Cove Marina (Marina St Vincent) typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), king george whiting, southern garfish, snook, and australian salmon.
