Victorian Estuary Fishing Review Summary
Victorian estuaries are well worth fishing. Around Melbourne take a crack at the Yarra River mouth as well as upstream to the Maribyrnong.
Species such as Bream and Pinkies can be targeted as far up as Flemington Racecourse!
The Werribee River Estuary produces some great Bream, too.
If touring Victoria you can't go past the Gippsland lakes. One of the largest Estuary systems in Australia. With some record Dusky Flathead being taken.
Along with Black Bream, Trevally and other species that move in and out of estuary systems.
Pros
- Most of Victoria's Estuaries are much improved from past decades in terms of pollution.
- Wide range of Fish Species. Flathead, Pinky Snapper and Black Bream being common.
- Gippsland Lakes estuary system lets you target Dusky Flathead, not see in Central and Western Estuaries.
Cons
- Some Estuary fish taken in some locations such as the Maribyrnong I do not recommend eating due to pollution levels.
- Many Metro Estuaries, such as the Yarra River, have severely limited access due to commercial usage
- Melbourne Metro Estuaries have born the brunt of environmental abuse for over a century & some continues to this day
