Lets Go Fishing

Loch Sport offers a variety of choices to the fishing enthusiast. In these pages we will try to bring you the latest fishing reports and advice on what is happening around the area. We will also list a few recipes so that you may enjoy your catch in the best way.

We welcome your stories and photos and will return photos if you supply a self addressed envelope with them. Also let us know about your catches so that we may tell others. To contact us go here.

Surf Fishing:

You will find some great challenges on the 90 mile beach with a good assortment of species to be had. These include the occasional big shark, plus plenty of gummies, salmon, flathead, bream, tailor and of course lots of crabs.
The big surprise often comes in at ninety mile beach, you never know what you are likely to land, so be prepared for anything.

Lake Victoria:

Here is the gateway to the Gippsland Lakes. From Loch Sport you can boat right through to Lakes Entrance or explore all the inlets and rivers in between. If it's on the Lakes then this is the best place to kick off from.
Lake Victoria is also the entrance to McLennan Straits and Lake Wellington where some great fishing can be experienced. Ask the locals for the best places to go such as Hollands Landing etc.

Fishing For the Kids:

There is also good fishing from Loch Sports beach or jetty. Even the adults fish here late in the evening where good catches of Mullet or Bream can be had, with Tailor in the warmer weather. Flathead and Flounder can also be found just off the beaches of Lake Victoria.

Bait:

There are ample natural baits to be had within the beach environment.
If you are looking for worms then you only need to pump for them along the beach front.
Please do not take any more than you need for the day.

Tip: Try pickling your left over worms in metho. They still work just as well and you are not wasting them. They are also easier to get on the hook.

Prawns are readily caught around Point Wilson from Xmas to Easter.
Down on the beach at the surf, it is easy to dig for pipies etc with your feet.
Frozen baits may be purchased at the Loch Sport Lodge Supermarket.
Live Worms and other baits are readily available at Frankies RACV Service Station.
