"Bemm River Bait and Tackle is a great little tackle store with an excellent range of lures, and they sell pro gear so don’t fret if you forget some lures or lose them all. The owner Mark was very helpful and was full of great information. He advised us of what lures were working best and why and gave helpful insights into how the system works. The store has a Facebook page and I suggest you “Like” them as Mark keeps up steady posts about how the place is fishing and how the system is operating." [Link below] FaceBook page: (

"Bemm River is a little town in Far East Gippsland, Victoria. A four-hour drive from Melbourne and a six-hour drive from Sydney. Bemm River is home to a few bream tournaments, and along with near by Malacoota is one of Australia’s best southern light tackle fishing destinations. The main water system you’ll be fishing is the Sydenham Inlet otherwise referred to as the lake. The inlet stretches over to meet Bass Strait and the opens up to it at certain times of the year. The lake is fed by the Bemm River in the west and the Little River in the east. Depending on what time of year you visit the mouth to the inlet may be closed or open and this can vary the way the system fishes and how you go about navigating it. The beauty of Bemm River as opposed to a place like Mallacoota is that it is quite small and you don’t need to be a local, a pro or have fished it countless times to get on to some fish. If you’re planning a fishing holiday with mates or a family trip or stop off for a few days, then you can’t go past Bemm River, it’s a light tackle enthusiasts angling paradise."
