Best Tide State to Fish Lakes Entrance Footbridge (Cunninghame Arm)
Cunninghame Arm is a sheltered, shallow arm of the Gippsland Lakes, so most winds are fishable here even when the ocean beach next door is a mess. Tide is the main driver: the Gippsland Lakes keep a tidal range because of the permanent entrance, and a flooding tide pushes cleaner, saltier water up the arm. Strong westerlies chop up the open water and push weed around, while a northerly can leave the arm glassy. After heavy rain in the catchment, dirty water drifts down through the lakes and the whiting go quiet.
