Tide times at Kalimna Jetty
Heights and times on this page are a model estimate.

Best Tide State to Fish Kalimna Jetty
Kalimna is on the shore of the lakes near the entrance, so tides run well and the water is often cleaner than further up the system. A flooding tide brings ocean water and baitfish; the run-out can be dirtier after rain in the catchment. Strong westerlies and south-westerlies chop up the water in front of the jetty, while northerly days are calm and pleasant. Like the rest of the lakes, heavy rain upstream discolours the water and slows the bite for a few days.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Kalimna Jetty typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, luderick, dusky flathead, tailor, and australian salmon.
