Best Tide State to Fish Flinders Pier
Flinders sits near Western Port's western entrance, so swell and wind from the south and south-west reach it more than the upper port. The tide still runs hard, which is what moves squid and baitfish past the pier, and clear water after a few calm days is ideal for jigging. A strong south-westerly makes the outer end uncomfortable and churns the water.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Flinders Pier typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), king george whiting, australian salmon, silver trevally, and leatherjacket.
