The stunning coastline, the many harbors and bays, lakes and rivers makes Australia an ultimate location for a relaxing and fun filled fishing vacation. Do you fancy trout fishing in the river or the lake with a stunning scenic backdrop, do you want to face a mighty game fish, or cast into the surf from the lovely beaches- the country has opportunity galore. And to it add the fantastic weather and climate and hosts of magnificent variety of fish like trout, snapper, bream, barrmundi, whiting, sailfish, whaoo, mahi mahi are just to give you an idea.
We would just like to bring to your notice some of the best locations for you to go n a fishing trip.
Port Lincoln, South Australia is a great spot to be if you are looking for whiting, trevally, garfish and squid. You can fish from the shore or the jetty – a favorite spot for the amateurs. You also want to head out to the sea for some magnificent tunas.
Next spot that we would suggest would be Darwin, Northern Territory. Stay around Melville Island- just a 30 minute flight away, for some great sport fishing. This is where you can hook the famed barramundi, some even up to a meter long. Coral trout, giant Trevally, golden snapper, long tail tuna are big hits here!
Lakes Eucumbene and Jindabyne, Tantangara and The Murrimbridge in the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales provides a challenge with fly fishing or trolling for those beautiful rainbow and brown trout. Even if you do not catch anything, the scenery is going to make up for it and how!

Melbourne, Victoria would not strike to you as fishing spot in the first go but Port Phillip Bay will surely impress you beyond words. Whiting, snapper, small shark, flathead will keep you busy. Go on a boat tour, enjoy the day the bay and you will see what makes it one of the most visited fishing haven of the area. While you are in Victoria, it is a great idea to go all the way to east Gippsland- fewer people, more estuaries and old-growth forests, and the best dusky flathead you will ever find. The mild climate, the beautiful scenery and year round fishing would not disappoint you at all!
All the way down to Cressy, 200km north of Hobart, Tasmania and it is all about trout! From cooking demonstrations to host of other activities for kids, books, camping and fishing gear displays, sales and more.
If you are looking for that peaceful place to spend your vacation, fishing for trout – this is it.
But on the other hand if you want to find out what is all the excitement about going game fishing in the open oceans that everyone talks about, Port Stephens, north of Sydney, and Cairns further to the north of Queensland is where you should be headed. The blue marlins are sure to give you a good fight and test your strength. This also means that you get to see the amazing Great Barrier Reef. Just hire a charter and brace yourself for some action in the waters. There are loads of fishing charters available for one day, half a day or a good few days. The skippers and crew are as helpful as you can imagine and you are sure to have a fantastic time- we guarantee. Just choose where you want to go on a fishing trip.
The Hawkesbury River is known as one of the most beautiful rivers in Australia – it is just an hour north f Sydney CBD. Only small boats are allowed here and thus the surroundings are as beautiful as it was decades ago – unspoilt and chaste. It makes the fishing even more pleasurable.
If you are a fisherman, then you have to make at least one trip to Australia to see what it is like down here and why we Aussies boast about it! There is something in the blue waters and the sun, the sand and the air that makes the vacations so special.
