Fishing Reports & Tips Port Stephens filter by boat ramp

Don't let Tilligerry Peninsula’s heavy tides rust your rig. Learn why standard spray lubricants fail at the Lemon Tree Passage boat ramp and how a simple switch to heavy-duty lanolin sprays forms an unbreakable barrier to protect your trailer steel.

Lemon Tree Passage is the Tilligerry Peninsula's favourite launch point — and it's easy to see why. A recently upgraded three-lane ramp, floating jetty, free parking and fish cleaning facilities make it effortless for any size boat, while its position at the mouth of Tilligerry Creek gives you sheltered fishing and open-water access in one spot. With school holidays in full swing, families will love the pontoons and netted swimming area for the kids to fish bream on any tide, plus easy walking access to bait, tackle, ice and food right on the marina.
