Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Spring is switching on in Batemans Bay this October with warming currents lifting activity across the Clyde River, local beaches and nearby reefs. Inshore reefs are producing solid snapper on soft plastics and lightly weighted pilchards, with bycatch of morwong and the odd kingfish shadowing bait schools. Inside the estuary, edges and flats are yielding flathead on paddle-tails and bream around structure on small hardbodies. Early signs of whiting are appearing on the sand flats, especially on surface lures during the run-in tide.
On the beaches, dawn gutters hold salmon and tailor taking metals and pilchards, while the bays are clear enough for southern calamari over weed beds on size 2.5–3.0 jigs. Best bite windows are dawn and dusk, particularly around a tide change. A light nor’easter and clean water have been ideal; after rain, focus on color lines where bait pushes out of the river—perfect for ambushing jewfish/mulloway with vibes.
Top tip: Match your jighead to the drift—just heavy enough to tick bottom—so plastics stay in the strike zone without snagging on Batemans Bay’s patchy reef and rubble.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Batemans Bay area
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 22 beaches and bays in this area.
