Best Tide State to Fish Sorrento Back Beach
The reefs off Sorrento Back Beach take the edge off the Bass Strait swell, so the fishable gutters sit between reef bars near the rock pools rather than along open sand. A moderate south-westerly swell opens them up; a big one sends white water over the reefs and the beach is best left alone. Northerlies are offshore and clean it up. Look at the gutters on the low tide, when the rock pools are exposed, and fish them on the flood.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Sorrento Back Beach typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, gummy shark, and yelloweye mullet.
