Best Tide State to Fish Eastern Beach (Lakes Entrance)

Eastern Beach faces south-east onto open Bass Strait, so it takes swell from the south and south-east and the gutters reshape constantly. A northerly or light offshore wind cleans the water and flattens the break; an easterly onshore usually means poor fishing and weed. A moderate swell carves good gutters, while a big sea turns the whole beach to white water. A rising tide works to your advantage, with dawn, dusk and night the productive windows. After a long calm spell the beach can go flat and featureless, and walking to find a real gutter pays off.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Eastern Beach (Lakes Entrance) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, tailor, gummy shark, yelloweye mullet, and flathead.
