Wildside Sportfishing

Wildside Sportfishing offers guided sport, reef and game fishing charters from South West Rocks on the New South Wales Mid North Coast. Founded by owner and lifelong angler Jason Bettles, the business welcomes fishing enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels, from beginners to expert anglers. With more than 22 years of charter-operating experience, Wildside focuses on small groups, personalised service and practical, one-on-one tuition, tailoring each trip to changing weather, tides and ocean conditions.

Charters run aboard Wildside, a Contender 25 Tournament vessel surveyed for travel up to 30 nautical miles offshore. Its fishing equipment supports a range of approaches, including jigging, soft plastics, lure casting and trolling. Offshore targets include tuna, snapper, mackerel, pearl perch, mahi-mahi, kingfish and marlin, while Macleay River trips may pursue mulloway, jacks and flathead. The business provides fishing tours and charter options, including offshore and game fishing, and offers information to help visitors plan a South West Rocks stay.
