Field notes

Tidal lower Mersey through Devonport, with the wharves and Bluff fishing year-round. Sand flathead and Australian salmon dominate, with school sharks on whole baits after dark. Sea-run brown trout work the upper tidal reaches in spring on whitebait.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
