About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

McLaren Point in Coffin Bay, SA, is a prime fishing spot that offers a rewarding experience for shore anglers. This rock wall features a rugged platform that extends into the waters, providing ample opportunities to target a variety of species, including Australian Salmon, King George Whiting, and Snapper. The best times to cast a line here are during the early dawn or at dusk, particularly when the swell is low and light conditions are optimal. Anglers can also expect to find Gummy Sharks and Squid lurking in the depths. Keep in mind that the rocks can be slippery, and wave action may pose hazards, so it's wise to check the swell height before venturing out. Whether you're bait fishing or trying your hand at lure fishing, McLaren Point promises a delightful day on the water.
