Some recent reviews by our customers:

"While exploring the scenic suburb of Rhodes, I came across a surprisingly charming and well-maintained boat ramp. It was the perfect spot to set up a barbie, cast a line, and soak in the surroundings. Ended up catching some shrimp, silver belly mullans, and even an Australasian snapper. Cooked it all up right there at the campsite and had an absolute feast. The whole experience was nothing short of exquisite — a true taste of Rhodes in its natural glory. Highly recommend it to locals and visitors wanting to experience this underrated nature haven".

"While exploring the inspiring suburb of Rhodes, I stumbled upon this ramp, and my golly god I did not look back. Would recommend to anyone who’s keen to get a fresh feed. Australasian snapper took me somewhere else".

Fishing at the Rhodes Boat Ramp and Wharf 1738 offers something for everyone, from beginners to experienced anglers. The waters of the Parramatta River are home to a variety of fish species, including bream, flathead, whiting, tailor, and even the occasional mulloway. With plenty of structure and tidal movement, it’s a great spot to cast a line using fresh bait like prawns or worms. Whether you're after a relaxing day on the water or chasing a prized catch, Rhodes provides a rewarding fishing experience in a beautiful riverside setting.

Fishing success at Rhodes Boat and Wharf Ramp often depends on timing. Early mornings are perfect for catching bream, flathead, and whiting as the river is calm and fish are most active. Late afternoons bring out tailor and the elusive mulloway, with stronger tidal movement making it an exciting time to fish. For those chasing bigger catches, fishing at night offers the best chance to land a prized mulloway or a large bream. No matter the time, Rhodes offers fantastic fishing opportunities for all skill levels.
