Fishing

Barooma Homestead

Fisherman’s Paradise

Excellent surf fishing is right on our doorstep. Beach fishing is also very popular in Seaspray. Merriman’s Creek at Seaspray offers freshwater fishing as well. The creek sometimes opens out to the sea which then offers some estuarine fishing.

Ninety Mile Beach and surrounds are popular at night during winter when fishing is at its best, but also great on warm days with your feet in the surf. You can lure fish and bait fish. Try a basic surf rig with a little berley to bring the fish during a rising tide.
