Unfortunately there is a lot of commercial fishing in the estuary which has impacted catches however near the bar and along the middle wall there is usually fish to be found with lures and livies. There are a couple of charter operators here but the focus on offshore fishing. There used to be a estuary fishing charter but I am not sure if they are still operating.
