Fishing

 

Flat Rocks and The Caves
Local fishermen love these beaches thanks to the rock platforms which stretch into channels frequented by whiting. Abalone can also be gathered here.

Undertow Bay and Cape Paterson
Good for mullet and salmon, and the rocks near the main swimming bay of Cape Paterson produce impressive-sized whiting and snapper. But restrictions apply on the removal of reef fish.Kilcunda and the Powlett River mouth


Fishing License

Do I Need a License?
A Recreational Fishing License (RFL) covers all forms of recreational fishing in all of Victoria's marine, estuarine and freshwaters.
Unless you are exempt,
a RFL is required when taking, or attempting to take, any species of fish by any method including line fishing, bait collection, gathering shellfish, yabby fishing, prawning and spear fishing.
What Happens if I Don't Have a License?
Fisheries Officers will be on patrol to ensure fishers hold a valid license. Penalties apply for fishing without a license.
How do I Obtain a License?
Victorian anglers now have the option to buy a three-year Recreational Fishing License for $66. This presents a saving of $7.50 on the combined cost of purchasing three annual licenses. Anglers can still buy the one-year RFL for $24.50, the 28-day RFL for $12, and the 2-day RFL for $6.

The RFL may be purchased to come into effect on a future date for up to one year from the date of purchase. An RFL may not be loaned or transferred to another person.
The RFL is available from many DPI offices and more than 980 retail businesses throughout Victoria, including most retail fishing tackle stores.
