Maribyrnong River Footscray

The Maribyrnong River at Footscray offers a dynamic estuary fishing experience that's hard to beat. Anglers often find themselves targeting species like bream, mulloway, flathead, mullet, estuary perch, and even the occasional carp. The river bank provides ample access, making it a popular spot for both novice and seasoned fishers.

Whether you prefer bait fishing or using lures, the Maribyrnong River is a versatile destination that promises the thrill of the chase.
