MALLACOOTA
Mallacoota Inlet is one of Victoria's premier estuaries — a system that produces tournament-quality black bream and dusky flathead year-round. With the Top Lake, Bottom Lake, the Narrows, Genoa and Wallagaraugh Rivers all within reach, there's no shortage of productive water. The challenge is knowing where to be, and when.
WHY FISH WITH A PROFESSIONAL GUIDE
Local knowledge is the difference at Mallacoota. Seasonal fish location and the right lure presentation across different parts of the inlet takes years to learn. A guided charter puts you on fish faster and teaches you to read the water yourself.
TARGET SPECIES
Black Bream · Yellowfin Bream · Dusky Flathead · Trevally · Estuary Perch · Mulloway · Tailor
BEST SEASONS
Summer (Dec-Feb)
Prime flathead on shallow flats, early morning topwater bream
Autumn (Mar-May)
Big bream feeding aggressively, best all-round fishing
Spring (Sep-Nov)
Slower but quality deep-water bream on vibes and blades
Winter (Jun-Aug)
Perch active, topwater fishing improves, bream around structure
KEY LURE TECHNIQUES
Crankbaits and topwater baits for bream around timber edges. Soft plastics and paddle tails for flathead across sandy drop-offs. Deep-diving hardbodies for estuary perch in snaggy timber.
THE CHARTER EXPERIENCE
Expect to cover multiple locations across the system targeting bream and dusky flathead predominately. All tackle and lures provided — just bring a positive attitude.
