The wilderness coastline of remote beaches and pristine rivers are an angler’s dream. Combine the fishing experience with the fact that most areas are accessible by boat and you have the ultimate paradise location.
Fish offshore from Mallacoota in larger vessels and be rewarded as this is among the best in Victoria for game fishing. If you prefer smaller to medium craft, then the Top and Bottom Lake of Mallacoota and the beautiful Tamboon Inlet will have you hooked.

With some restrictions on sizes of catch and types, you should always check local authorities before embarking on your trip.
