Can you fish off the Inverloch Jetty?

Yes. The jetty beside the Inverloch boat ramp at the end of Pier Road is open to the public and is a popular family fishing spot, particularly for kids learning. It can get crowded in summer and it shares space with a working boat ramp, so keep lines clear of boats.

What can you catch at Inverloch?

Anderson Inlet off the Inverloch foreshore produces King George whiting, Australian salmon, flathead, silver trevally and yelloweye mullet, with pinkies and gummy shark taken off the weed bed at The Poles. Fishing is strongly tide-dependent — the run-in and high tide are the best times.

When is the best time to fish Anderson Inlet?

Fish the incoming tide and the two hours around high water. The inlet is very shallow and large areas drain at low tide, so timing the tide matters more than the time of day. King George whiting are best from late summer into autumn and salmon move in during winter.

Where are the best land-based spots in Inverloch?

Locals fish the jetty and boat ramp area, the Bowling Club stretch of the Esplanade for flathead, mullet and whiting, The Poles opposite the beach end of Abbott Street for whiting, gummies and pinkies over a weed bed, and Pensioners Corner in Wyeth's Bay, which fishes well on the tides.
