At the Bolden Park Sports Stadium, the visitors jumped out to an impressive start to lead 17-8 at the end of the first 10 minutes.
The Tigers kept the foot on the throat in the second stanza, to extend their advantage 12 points (34-22) at half-time.
The third quarter belonged to the black and gold, who outscored their winless rivals 18-12, to head into the final term with an 18-point cushion.
By the end of the fourth quarter, the lead had extended to 21 - to hand the Tigers their third straight win to open the 2021 Waratah League division two men's season.
In the victory, Dane Jensen top-scored with 19, while Billy Campbell and Tom Ozolins added 14 and 11 respectively.
Next up for Bagoly's second-placed Tigers is a home fixture with 2-1 St George Saints - which will be part of Shoalhaven's first-ever double-header at the new Den, with the youth men tipping off at 4pm, before the men at 6pm.
