Riverina Sportfishing has three boats in survey. The smallest boat is a 4.1m Polycraft Challenger powered by a 40hp Honda engine and a 55lb Minn Kota electric motor. The boat is in NSW Maritime 2E Survey  (registration 22699) for up to three clients, however two clients is optimal. The two bigger boats are 5.8m Actioncraft plate aluminium boats which are also in NSW Maritime 2E survey (reg. 22998 & 22999). The Actioncraft vessels are powered by 150hp Honda's and 80lb Minn Kota electric motors and are approved to carry five clients each, so we can cater for groups of up to ten people. The big boats are used on the lakes, dams and larger rivers, whilst the Polycraft is the primary shallow water vessel.

Riverina Sportfishing uses premium quality equipment with rods by Innovator (Nitro) and Samaki (Zing) which are complemented by reels from Daiwa (Heartland, Tierra), Shimano (Curado) and Pfleuger (Trion and Illusion). The equipment supplied for use by our clients is of the highest quality and well serviced ensuring your experience isn't tarnished by faulty tackle. 

Our Services

Day trips are nominally ten hours and half day trips five hours, however if one day isn't enough and you want an extended fishing adventure, please contact us for options and availability. We can tailor a fishing trip or provide tuition to suit your requirements, or for the fisherman who has everything, a gift voucher offers a lifetime of education and great day out.

Each trip departure is generally from Wagga Wagga, with pick and drop-off available, or we can meet at a pre-determined destination. Accommodation can be arranged on request.
