Fishing off The Long Jetty
The Long Jetty is one of the best spots in Port Welshpool for fishing. Stretching far into Corner Inlet, it gives anglers access to deeper waters without needing a boat. Popular catches include flathead, whiting, gummy sharks, and bream. Its easy-to-navigate structure makes it perfect for families, beginners, and seasoned fishers alike.
Highlights:
• Cast a line right from the jetty
• Safe and flat for all ages
• Excellent for early morning or sunset fishing
• Perfect spot to watch wildlife while waiting for a bite
Boat Fishing
For those with a boat, the waters around Corner Inlet and Shallow Inlet open up more options. Deep-water species and larger catches like kingfish and snapper are common, and the inlet’s calm conditions make for an enjoyable day on the water. You can also jump on a fishing charter. Duff’s Fishing Charter is fantastic!

Seasonal Fishing
Port Welshpool offers fantastic fishing all year round, with different species peaking in different seasons.
Spring & Summer: Warmer months are ideal for whiting, flathead, and bream. The calm waters of Corner Inlet make beach and jetty fishing especially enjoyable, and early mornings or late afternoons are perfect for a peaceful cast.
Autumn: Cooler weather brings great opportunities for gummy sharks, mullet, and large bream. The jetty is particularly popular during this time, offering deeper water access without needing a boat.
Winter: Winter fishing is known for producing larger catches, including gummy sharks and kingfish. While the days are shorter, the tranquility of the off-season waters makes for a relaxing fishing experience.
No matter the season, there’s always a reason to grab your rod and head out…
