About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Onkaparinga River Mouth in Port Noarlunga South, SA, offers a dynamic fishing experience right at the convergence of freshwater and saltwater. Anglers can cast from the beach or river bank, often finding success targeting a variety of species such as bream, mulloway, yellowfin whiting, flathead, Australian salmon, and garfish. The best times to fish here are at dawn and dusk, particularly during the incoming and run-out tides, when fish are most active. Keep in mind that tide movement and wind can significantly impact water clarity, which in turn affects fish behaviour. It's essential to stay aware of these conditions to enhance your chances of a good catch while enjoying the natural beauty that this estuarine environment provides.
