90 Miles of surf fishing by Brett Geddes

Gippsland offers some of the most diverse fishing in the state, and its surf beaches have been incredibly popular for many years. I want to introduce you to some of the easier access points near Sale, plus a few of the more out-of-the-way beaches many locals have enjoyed fishing lately. I'll tell you about a new way to target the big sharks and snapper that are often found just outside casting distance from shore.

PLENTY OF BEACH FRONT

From McLoughlins Beach near Port Albert to Lake Tyers Beach just east of Lakes Entrance, the beautiful Ninety Mile Beach has established itself as a prime holiday and fishing location. In fact, over the last couple of years holiday homes have doubled in numbers - and tripled in value - at the small coastal towns of Seaspray, Golden Beach and Loch Sport. For family-orientated anglers, Loch Sport and Lakes Entrance also offer plenty to keep the kids entertained.

Don't think that these areas don't produce fish because they are so popular...
