Recreational line fishing is popular from the beaches and rocks at Walkerville with anglers seeking Snapper, Sweep, Leather Jacket, Salmon, Yellow-tail Kingfish, Trumpeter and Parrot-fish.

The sheltered waters of Anderson Inlet offer Bass, Flathead, Salmon, Whiting, Mullet, Trevally and Garfish. The Venus Bay Beach is an excellent location to try your luck at surf fishing.

A recreational fishing licence is required to take fish (including bait and shellfish) in all Victorian Marine, estuary and freshwaters. Fishing Licences can be obtained from the Caravan Park Kiosk at Walkerville North and from most retail fishing stores.
