With some of the best beaches, secluding fishing holes and deep-ocean options in the world, the southeast Australian state is a fisherman\u2019s dream.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best fishing spots in NSW\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nThere are plenty of spots to find a variety of fish in inland New South Wales and once you\u2019re out on the ocean. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2reRomU4crFJG95hfdktPa\/86156389ff47635ee6c0289e98a3eeea\/fishing-anders-wideskott.jpg\" alt=\"Best Fishing holidays\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The <a name=\"Bermagui_River\">Bermagui River<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/34514\/bermagui\">Bermagui<\/a> River boasts some of the best game fishing on the continent, with marlin and several species of shark and tuna biting at bait most of the year. It\u2019s also one of the most secluded spots in the country, even when bait fish such as mackerel and pilchards are at their height during warmer times of the year, as the population rarely exceeds 2,000.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Jervis_Bay\">Jervis Bay<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>One of the first stops on any New South Wales fishing expedition has to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/391315\/shoalhaven-heads-nsw-australia\">Shoalhaven <\/a>region. Highlighted by the spectacular Jervis Bay, this south coast fishing mecca is a must for any Aussie vacationer who is serious about their fishing. And it\u2019s so popular because the options in terms of the type of fish to go after and the style of fishing to pursue are nearly endless.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\n<a name=\"The_Snowy_Mountains\">The Snowy Mountains<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/19966\/snowy-mountains-nsw-australia\">Snowy Mountains<\/a> region is probably the more famed New South Wales locale, renowned for its trout fishing. The Snowy and Thredbo rivers are ideal destinations during the spring and summer months. If you\u2019re looking for something year-round, though, Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene are just two of the many options in the region. You can also make the most of your trip by checking out one of the many private tours offered in the area, which usually run about $650 per day.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Port_Stephens\">Port Stephens<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to get out on the ocean for some serious sport fishing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/1163941\/port-stephens\">Port Stephens<\/a>, a couple hours north of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/37457\/western-sydney-australia\">Sydney<\/a>, is one of your best bets. Known as \u201cblue water paradise,\u201d the port and its surrounding bays, which are some of the most beautiful in the world, offer access to giant blue marlin, with some weighing in as big as 600 pounds. It\u2019s also an excellent destination for freshwater and saltwater fly fishing.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Hawkesbury_River\">Hawkesbury River<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>But of all the exceptional fishing spots in New South Wales, the Hawkesbury River may be the finest. Its tributaries are only accessible by small boats, so the area remains largely untouched, as does its stock of bass, which is among the most plentiful you\u2019ll find.\r\n\r\n\r<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other activities in NSW\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nWhile fishing will be your top priority, since New South Wales is home to Sydney, the options for entertainment off the water are just as plentiful as they are on it. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/GwduIJZlDl6kbI1ZYXtEw\/be1489c5694f1927a37453242a7b3415\/4.sydney-opera-liam-pozz.jpg\" alt=\"Sydney Opera a holiday destination in Sydney, Australia\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Explore_the_Capital\">Explore the Capital<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to change things up from a relaxing morning and afternoon out on the boat, you can always head to the capital, which is within a couple hours drive of most of the best fishing, to catch a show or check out some of the city\u2019s world-renowned restaurants.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Art_Galleries\">Art Galleries<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For those who love both the beauty of nature and appreciate exquisite art, there are galleries galore on the North Coast, including Armistead\u2019s Gallery and Art Aspects Gallery, both in Lismore. There are also artisan studios for glassblowing (Alan Ussher Glassblowing Studio, in Lismore) and Artisans\u2026 on the hill, in Mondrook, where you can watch, buy or participate in making crafts using wood, silver or glass.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Where_to_stay\">Where to stay<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\r\nFinally, you\u2019re going to need to make sure you can find a
