Best Tide State to Fish Nungurner Jetty

The channel in front of the jetty is sheltered from most directions, though strong westerlies blow straight down it. A moving tide is important for whiting; slack water is the slow time, and a slack in the middle of a bright day is the slowest of all. Clear water and calm conditions make whiting shy, so overcast days and low light help. It is one of the few places on the lakes where a grey morning counts as good weather. Rain upstream can discolour the channel for days.

What Anglers Target Here
