About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Simsons Landing in Nelson, VIC, offers a serene river fishing experience that attracts both boaters and bank anglers. Nestled within an estuarine environment, this spot is particularly fruitful for targeting species such as Bream, Estuary Perch, Mulloway, and Yellow-eye Mullet. Early morning and late evening sessions during summer provide the best chances for a successful catch, as fish tend to be more active in these cooler hours. Kayak fishing here is a popular option, allowing for easy access to the more secluded areas of the river. However, anglers should be mindful of the tide movement and wind, as these factors can significantly affect water clarity and fish behaviour. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings while casting your line, but always prioritise safety when navigating the waters.
