Fishing

Breamlea is an angler’s paradise, with abundant opportunities along the shoreline and waterways. Enjoy bay fishing at Bancoora or Fishos, or, book a chartered fishing tour with a local business to reel in your next big ocean catch. This angler’s nirvana serves up prime snapper, whiting, flathead, and even shark fishing for the brave. For the ultimate serene start, cast your line as the first rays of sunrise paint the ocean in warm hues. 

Bass Strait provides an infinite source of entertainment for the angler. Weather conditions permitting, fish are taken year round along the coast. However, as the weather improves in late spring, the fishing activity also increases with the arrival of huge numbers of Snapper on their annual migration into Port Phillip Bay to spawn. Good numbers of snapper, up to 10Kg, are taken from around AFL Grand Final Day to mid December.

Flathead, whiting, snapper, salmon and gummy sharks may be caught from the beach at Fishos or from your boat within sight of the beach.

Venturing further afield offshore at Black Rock, Torquay and Jan Juc, the variety of species caught include, gummy shark, snapper, whiting, salmon, couta, garfish, squid (calamari and aero), kingfish, trevally, sweep, flathead and for the seriously adventurous, deep off shore fishing can produce good catches of a variety of species of sharks.
