Best Tide State to Fish Apollo Bay Harbour (Breakwaters & Wharf)

The harbour faces east and is sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly swell, so it fishes on days when the beaches do not. A strong easterly or north-easterly makes the harbour choppy, and big southerly swells can wash over the outer breakwater. The entrance silts up and is dredged periodically, which shifts the sand and the fish. Dawn and dusk on a moving tide are best. This is Apollo Bay, so pack a rain jacket whatever the forecast promised; the harbour fishes fine in drizzle, which is just as well.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Apollo Bay Harbour (Breakwaters & Wharf) typically time sessions around the tide for silver trevally, southern calamari (squid), australian salmon, barracouta, and snapper.
