Fishing – Phillip Island

Cast a line in tranquil surrounds around Phillip Island and catch super fresh seafood to cook up for fun family dinners.

Fishing from jetties
Rod and line-fishing enthusiasts set up shop along the jetties at Cowes, Newhaven, Rhyll and San Remo for flathead, snapper, whiting, salmon, shark and squid.

Out on the water
Cast your net further afield and embark upon boat fishing in Westernport Bay. For an almost guaranteed catch, join a charter fishing expeditions from San Remo and Rhyll. Launch your own boat from all-tide and all-weather boat launching facilities at Cowes, Rhyll and Newhaven, or hire a vessel from Rhyll and Cowes.

Fishing and more
If you happen to return empty-handed you can buy seafood straight off the boat at the San Remo Fisherman’s Cooperative, or nab trout at Rhyll Fishing Park.
