There’s a strong fishing history here, and it wouldn’t be summer without seeing someone tossing out a line from one of the jetties across the island, or reeling one in on a surf beach.

If you want to head to deeper water, you could book in with a local fishing charter and Jim’s Bait and Tackle in San Remo can sort out all your fishing needs.

You need a licence to fish in Western Port though so don’t get caught without one. Check out the weekly fishing report at pisra.com.au to find out what’s biting where.
