Port Welshpool, Victoria

Port Welshpool has an excellent boat ramp, which is near the best sea access from Corner Inlet, through Singapore Deep, though it is by no means a safe passage, with a runout tide and southerly swell quickly creating bad conditions.

Big snapper live in the Deep, and a great many species are found offshore, including kingfish around the islands, and thresher sharks.

The Lewis Channel out of Port Welshpool is well marked, and can be fished by foot at low tide.

Kingfish are a regular catch around the markers.

At Toora, the boat ramp dries at low tide.

Fishing around Toora Channel produces most species, including snapper and gummy sharks in summer.

Further to the west is Yanakie, which has a boat ramp useable from half tide up.

The western inlet comprises sandflats and weedbeds drained by channels, with big flathead and whiting in summer.

The channels run into Franklin Channel, which runs into Singapore Deep.
