Fishing and Diving Shipwreck Coast
Fishing Around Warrnambool
Whether you are a first time fisher and want to have a bit of fun with the kids, or are looking for a serious catch, Warrnambool offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities in picturesque locations.
From freshwater fishing in our lakes and rivers to estuarine and saltwater fishing in our bays, inlets and ocean, you can dangle a line from a wharf, enjoy the challenge of the surf or rocks, or find the perfect spot in a boat.
All fishing requires a licence, please contact the Visitor Information Centre for a list of licence outlets throughout Warrnambool.
The Visitor Information Centre can also provide a comprehensive listing of fishing spots and species. Boat launching is available at the Breakwater for ocean fishing, or the Hopkins or Merri Rivers.
Diving Around Warrnambool and the Shipwreck Coast
Warrnambool is a great base to explore the under water wonders of the Shipwreck Coast.
Dive Inn can equip you with all the gear required, and give you that local knowledge that will make your experience even better.
Merri Marine Sanctuary is a stunning playground right at our doorstep. Divers can enjoy an incredible range of marine life and awesome reef formations! The best is that it can all be accessed direct from the shore. Please note the sanctuary area has a "no take zone policy" however there are many other sites in which Crayfish and other fish life can be taken.
