Discover Wollongong, where the Pacific Ocean meets New South Wales' South Coast in a spectacular display of marine abundance. Just 80 kilometres south of Sydney, this premier destination offers world-class fishing charters targeting diverse species across deep blue waters and vibrant reefs.
Reef fishing thrives year-round with accessible half-day trips navigating inshore hotspots between Stanwell Park and Shellharbour. Expect consistent action from Snapper, Morwong, Trevally, Flathead, and Kingfish. These productive grounds lie within 15 kilometres of shore, perfect for family trips or quick offshore escapes.
For trophy hunters, deep sea expeditions venture 30 kilometres offshore to the continental shelf. Summer brings explosive Marlin (Blue, Black, Striped), Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Mako Sharks. From May to September, Yellowfin and Albacore Tuna dominate cold-water currents. Full-day charters maximise your shot at these pelagic giants.
Local operators provide premium gear, bait, and expert guidance tailored to all skill levels, with no fishing license required. After the catch, crews clean and prepare your haul for the table. Experience Wollongong’s dual charm: accessible reef bounty near Five Islands or adrenaline-chasing gamefish further out.
