Salmon Fishing in Australia

Australian Salmon are a popular fish for both surf and inshore anglers alike. Most of these fish can be found along Australia’s southern coastline. However, the name is slightly misleading, as the fish do not belong to the Salmonidae family but instead they belong to the Arripidae fish family which is a Salmon shaped fish.

Australian Salmon are part of the Holy Trinity of Australian fishes, along with Mulloway and Barramundi. This makes them a highly prized target for anglers but their mysterious and unpredictable seasonal migration makes them an elusive target, adding to the challenge of catching one.

For the angler on land there are basically two ways of catching Australian Salmon, either the traditional way with rod and line, or secondly chase down a school and throw your bait down.
