The Coorong is a remarkable and ecologically rich coastal lagoon system stretching along the southeastern coast of South Australia, situated within Coorong National Park south of the Murray Mouth. This unique waterway is formed by a long, narrow series of lagoons separated from the Southern Ocean by the Younghusband Peninsula, creating a diverse fishing environment that blends estuarine, brackish, and near-ocean conditions. The system supports a thriving multi-species fishery that has drawn anglers for generations, offering everything from surf fishing along the ocean beach to boat fishing in the sheltered lagoon waters. The Coorong is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) accredited, reflecting the significance and management quality of its fishery. Whether you're chasing mulloway near the barrages, casting for Australian salmon through the surf, or targeting yelloweye mullet in the lagoon shallows, the Coorong delivers a genuinely world-class fishing experience in a stunning natural setting.
