Burrill Lake fishing times — what works here

Burrill Lake is a small tidal coastal lake on the NSW South Coast, 4.8 km from Ulladulla, joined to the sea through a narrow entrance channel that floods and drains with each tide. Bream, flathead and whiting are year-round staples; the entrance channel and the bar immediately south of it produce good results on the last two hours of the run-out tide. Mulloway are taken from the deeper holes at night on fresh mullet or live poddy mullet.

Best tides for fishing Burrill Lake

Tide stage is the most reliable predictor of the bite at Burrill Lake. For most inshore species here (flathead, bream, whiting), the prime windows are:

• Last two hours of the run-out — bait funnels off the flats into the channels. This is the prime ambush window.
• First hour of the run-in — fish push up onto the banks behind the bait. Bream and whiting are active.
• Dawn on a falling tide — the overlap of low light and active tidal flow is the textbook best fishing window for most species.
