Fishing

Bermagui has a well deserved reputation for fantastic fishing. Made famous as a game fishing port - due in great part to the visits of American author Zane Grey in the 1930s - the continental shelf is just 20km off shore, the closest point along the Eastern Seabord to the Australian mainland. This means warm northerly currents flow very close to the shore bringing an abundance of all types of fish close to the coast. Charter a boat for big game or deep sea and reef fishing. Hire a boat or launch your own and venture out on the river and surrounding lakes. Or find a shoreside spot and throw in a line.
