About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Sheepwash Road Boat Ramp in Barwon Heads, VIC, offers a fantastic estuary fishing experience, perfect for both bank anglers and those using small boats or kayaks. The area is renowned for its diverse species, including Bream, Mullet, Silver Trevally, Australian Salmon, Flathead, and the elusive Mulloway. Anglers often find the best results during dawn and dusk, especially around high tide when the fish are most active. The rising tide can enhance water clarity, making it an ideal time for lure and bait fishing.
