Best Tide State to Fish Bullock Island (Lakes Entrance)
Being close to the entrance, Bullock Island gets the full strength of the tide and the cleanest water in the lakes on the flood. The run-in tide is the prime time; the run-out carries dirtier lake water and stronger flows that make holding bottom hard. Westerly and south-westerly winds blow straight down the channels and make lure casting harder, while easterly weather is more comfortable. A stiff westerly down the channel turns your best cast into a polite suggestion. After big seas, sand moves across the bar and the water at the island can stay discoloured for days.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Bullock Island (Lakes Entrance) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, black bream, luderick, silver trevally, and tailor.
