About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Curdies River Inlet, nestled in Peterborough, VIC, offers a prime estuary fishing experience. Anglers can find safe access along the banks and platforms near the river mouth, where the blend of fresh and saltwater creates a rich habitat. This spot is particularly renowned for targeting species such as Bream, Estuary Perch, Mullet, and the occasional Mulloway. The best catches often occur during dawn and dusk, especially around high tide and with an incoming tide, when fish are most active. Night fishing can also yield impressive results. However, be mindful of the tide movement and wind, as they can significantly influence water clarity and fish behaviour. With its serene surroundings and diverse species, Curdies River Inlet is a rewarding destination for both novice and seasoned anglers.
