Wellington Point fishing times — what works here

Wellington Point is a shallow tidal headland in southern Moreton Bay, known for the small King Island that becomes accessible at low tide. The flats surrounding the point are excellent flathead and whiting water on the run-in and low-tide windows, with bream around the oyster bars and mangrove edges. The whiting fishing here is among the best on the south-western bay shore — sand flats, small soft plastics or live yabbies, dawn on a run-in tide.

Best tides for fishing Wellington Point

Tide stage is the most reliable predictor of the bite at Wellington Point. 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.
