About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Nestled at the southern tip of Cape Otway, the Parker River Mouth estuary offers a tranquil fishing experience with ample opportunities for catching bream, mullet, Australian salmon, and flounder. Accessing this spot is straightforward, with safe entry points along the bank or beach near the river mouth. Early morning and late evening sessions, particularly around high and rising tides, can yield the best results. Anglers often favour bait fishing techniques here, although lure fishing can also be effective. Keep in mind that tide movements and wind can influence water clarity and fish behaviour, so it’s wise to watch for changing conditions. This serene estuary not only boasts rich aquatic life but also stunning natural surroundings, making it a favourite for both fishing and relaxation.
