Is Port Welshpool Long Jetty open?

Yes. The jetty was rebuilt and officially reopened in June 2019 after closing in 2003. The project rehabilitated the inshore 190 metres and rebuilt the remaining 572 metres, with handrails, lighting and accessible decking. Check the Gippsland Ports and South Gippsland Shire notices for any temporary maintenance closures before a long drive.

What can you catch off Port Welshpool Long Jetty?

Squid, King George whiting, snapper, gummy shark, flathead, silver trevally, salmon and leatherjackets are all taken off the jetty, with kingfish possible in the warmer months. The outer end is where most of the better fish are caught.

How long is Port Welshpool Long Jetty?

About 760 metres — 190 metres of restored inshore deck plus 572 metres of new jetty — so allow time for the walk to the end.

Can you catch squid off Port Welshpool jetty?

Yes — squid are one of the most reliable catches on the jetty. Look for ink stains on the deck to find where they have been caught, and cast jigs over the weed on the moving tide, especially at dawn and dusk.
