About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Tarwin River Mouth in Venus Bay, VIC, offers a dynamic fishing experience right at the confluence of fresh and saltwater. Anglers often find success from the banks and inlet margins, especially during the magic hours of dawn and dusk. The interplay of the incoming and outgoing tides enhances fish activity, making these times particularly fruitful. Target species here include bream, estuary perch, and the occasional Australian salmon, alongside yellow-eye mullet and silver trevally. Flathead are also a popular catch, lurking in the deeper channels. Keep an eye on tide movements, as they can significantly affect water clarity and the behaviour of the fish. Wind can also play a role, so it's wise to check conditions before casting your line at this picturesque spot.
