Fishing With A Local

Experience the Shoalhaven coastline through the eyes of someone who truly knows its waters.

Fishing With A Local offers visitors a relaxed, sustainable and hands-on way to explore the beaches and estuaries of Shoalhaven Heads. Sessions focus on environmental awareness, social responsibility, and teaching practical skills — from absolute beginner techniques to more advanced fishing and baiting methods.

Guests can choose from a range of coastal experiences, including:
• Beach and estuary fishing sessions
• Night fishing adventures targeting salmon, tailor or jewfish
• Live-bait, squid and bait-gathering techniques
• Beach-worming workshops
• Family-friendly sessions designed to build confidence and spark curiosity

All bait, equipment and even your fishing licence are included, making it easy for anyone to join in. Every experience is designed to be safe, supportive and inclusive, ensuring that visitors of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable and welcome.

It’s all about slowing down, learning something new, and creating memories that last long after you’ve rinsed the sand off your feet.

Cast a line, connect with the coastline, and enjoy an authentic local experience.
