Fishing in Venus Bay is a great way to relax and take in the stunning views & surrounds of this beautiful part of Victoria. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, there are plenty of spots to cast your line. Here’s a guide to some of the best fishing spots in Venus Bay, just a short drive from your accommodation here at Maple Ridge.

• A couple of beaches in Venus Bay are great spots for fishing. If you’re on the expert side of the ledger, Talia Beach or Talia Caves are fantastic spots for a fish. Here you can catch mullet, salmon trout and often you’re a good chance to hook one of the other, larger species too. The beach is close to the town centre and is easily accessible by car. You’ll find plenty of parking spots nearby, so you won’t have to worry about finding a place to leave your car. Be vigilant though – this area often has strong swells & deep channels close to the beach, so make sure you’re prepared & have the right equipment before you cast that line in.
• If you’re looking for a spot that’s a bit more family friendly, head over to the Venus Bay jetty. Here, you’ll find a variety of fish, including salmon, trevally, and flathead. You’ll also enjoy stunning views of the bay, while letting the kids have a go at getting a catch. To get to the jetty, you can either drive or take a short walk from the main beach.

• Another great spot for fishing in Venus Bay is the nearby Port Kenny Jetty. This pier is located nice and close to a town, easily accessible, and while it’s a smaller jetty, you can catch bream, whiting, and flathead when the conditions suit. It’s a lovely spot for a fish and is often not as busy as other fishing spots in the town.

• If you’re looking for a more secluded spot, consider heading over to the south end of Venus Bay. This part of the bay is home to a number of small bays, coves, and inlets, which offer great fishing opportunities. You’ll find plenty of snapper, flathead, and whiting in this area.

Fishing in Venus Bay is an unforgettable experience. There are plenty of spots to choose from, so you won’t have to worry about not finding a great place to cast your line. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll enjoy the stunning views of the bay and the wide variety of fish that can be caught. Of course, it’s always nice to be able to retire to your accommodation & enjoy the catch of the day for tea. With your fully equipped cottage near Venus Bay, here at Maple Ridge, that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do!
