About This Spot
Local knowledge & spot details
Point Vernon in Hervey Bay, QLD, offers a prime fishing experience from its rocky platform. This rock wall is a favourite among local anglers, especially during dawn and dusk when the low light conditions entice fish closer to shore. Target species here include bream, flathead, whiting, trevally, queenfish, and even coral trout, making it a diverse spot for various fishing styles, particularly bait fishing. It's best to fish during a moving tide for optimal success. However, caution is advised, as the rocks can be slippery, and wave wash may pose hazards. Always check the swell height before planning your visit to ensure safe access. With its stunning views and fruitful waters, Point Vernon is a must-visit for any fishing enthusiast.
