About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Broken Bay in Palm Beach, NSW, is a picturesque estuary that offers a fantastic fishing experience for both shore and boat anglers. The serene waters are home to an array of species, including bream, flathead, tailor, mulloway, Australian salmon, and the prized kingfish. Early morning and late evening, particularly during the moving tide, are prime times to cast your line, as low light conditions often trigger increased fish activity. As you navigate the estuary, be mindful of the changing tide and wind, which can impact water clarity and, consequently, your catch. Whether you prefer bait fishing or using lures, Broken Bay provides plenty of opportunities to reel in your desired species. With its stunning natural backdrop and diverse aquatic life, this spot is a must-visit for any serious angler.
