About This Spot
Local knowledge & spot details
Goolwa River Mouth in Goolwa, SA, offers a dynamic fishing experience right at the convergence of the river and ocean. This river mouth is particularly renowned for its rich variety of species, including Mulloway, Australian Salmon, Gummy Shark, Yellow-eye Mullet, Bream, and Flathead. Anglers usually find the best success during the low light periods of dawn and dusk, especially when fishing the incoming and run-out tides. Surf casting from the beach or shore can yield rewarding catches, but be mindful of the tide movements and wind, as they can significantly influence water clarity and fish activity. This spot’s estuarine environment provides a unique setting, but it’s essential to stay aware of changing conditions for a safe and enjoyable outing.
