fishing haven - Portland's fishing fleet catches a large percentage of Victoria's
seafood and is renowned for its fish, crayfish, squid and abalone. A wide
range of choices exist for the eager angler - cast a line in the Glenelg,
Fitzroy or Surry Rivers or perhaps the Bridgewater Lakes. At Portland Bay,
which is protected from westerly winds, there is a choice of breakwater
or surf fishing and a huge variety of catches, including Salmon, King George
Whiting, Snapper, Mulloway, Tailor, Trevally, Garfish, Snook, Sweep, Mullet,
Flathead, Yellow Tail Kingfish and Barracouta, to name but a few. Game fishing is also available in the region and the Portland Sport and Game Fishing Club operates a 27MEG Marine Radio watch. The Radio Base is on 94, while the Police Base in on 88. |
