Recreational fishing is great for your health and wellbeing and is a popular form of outdoor activity that is enjoyed across our district. Fishing is one form of nature-based activity that can be enjoyed throughout childhood, adolescence, adulthood and into our senior years.
South Australian clean marine waters are home to some of the most sought after, premium seafood in the world.
