Is Oatley Point a good fishing spot?

Yes — it is one of the better-known land-based spots on the middle Georges River. The rocky tip of Oatley Point Reserve fishes on both the run-in and run-out tides, and the prime ground is only about a 20 m cast away. Bream, dusky flathead, sand whiting and mulloway are the main targets, with luderick and silver trevally also using the reach. A NSW Recreational Fishing Fee is required.

Where do you park for Oatley Point Reserve?

There is a small car park at the end of Phipps Street in Oatley, next to the reserve playground. From there a dirt bush track runs a few hundred metres through the reserve to the rocky point. It is uneven underfoot and not suitable for prams or wheelchairs.

Can you fish from the Como bridge?

The old Como railway bridge is now a shared walking and cycling path, and there is no published permission to fish from it, so fish the banks instead. Oatley Point, a short way downstream on the northern bank, is the established land-based spot on this reach of the river.

Can you eat fish from the Georges River at Oatley?

Yes, within limits. Oatley is in the reach between Tom Uglys Bridge and Rabaul Road boat ramp, where NSW precautionary PFAS advice caps adults at two serves a week of dusky flathead or estuary perch, one of mulloway and three of silver trevally, and children aged two to six at one serve a week of any one of those, not one of each, because the limits assume a single species is eaten that week. Luderick need no PFAS advice for adults but are capped at four serves a week for children aged two to six. Yellowfin bream and sand whiting were tested and need no PFAS advice. Normal bag and size limits still apply, such as bream at 25 cm and mulloway at 70 cm with a bag of one.
