About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Nicholson River in Victoria offers a picturesque estuarine fishing experience that attracts both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. With access from the river bank or by boat, this spot is perfect for targeting species such as Black Bream, Estuary Perch, Flathead, Luderick, Mullet, and Short-finned Eel. The best times to fish here are during the early morning and late evening, especially around moving tides when fish are most active. Low light conditions enhance the chances of a good catch, so plan your trips accordingly. While the river’s scenic beauty is captivating, be mindful of the tide movements and wind, which can influence water clarity and fish behaviour. Enjoy a rewarding day on the water, but always stay alert to ensure a safe fishing adventure.
