Find out what we learned from analysing 20,000 fishing reports about moon times and fish.

Summer Fishing

bream, mullet, garfish, king-george-whiting and australian-salmon can be targeted at the location during summer. Activity is strongest for these species during the warmer part of the year. Actual catches will vary according to temperature trends, localised weather and tides.

Autumn Fishing

mullet, garfish and pinkie-snapper are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.

Winter Fishing

mullet and garfish are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this location is no different. Fish can be slower to bite with reduced activity levels. As always what you catch varies with the prevalent temperature trends, localised weather and of course tides.

Spring Fishing

Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with pinkie-snapper and mullet becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as bream, mullet, garfish, king-george-whiting and australian-salmon begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Balcombe Creek Beach, today?

No. Because no forecast can truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report, derived, species history.

Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. Try different locations, different bait and lures. Remember to use berley and try to target a specific fish species in season.
