Fishing Times, Solunar, Reports

Corner Inlet Fishing

Fishing at Corner Inlet looks mixed today, but the peak solunar bite times still provide a worthwhile opportunity. Consider fishing during the major period when the moon is overhead; that time block may see improved fish activity today. Mixed cloud cover; low inflience expected on fishing conditions.

Species most often mentioned in statewide reports

A wide spread of species appears across VIC reports, led by Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly.

State-level reports can cover very different waters, so this should be read as a broad reporting snapshot.

Based on statewide Getfished fishing report species data.

* Note that report summaries will sometimes display the same species under different names. This is because they are being reported that way. This is intentional.

Corner Inlet Fishing

Fishing Areas and Conditions

Most of Corner Inlet is relatively shallow and strongly tidal. Look for drop-offs with a sounder and anchor nearby with fresh bait, such as freshly caught squid.
The top end of the inlet fishes well for snapper in early spring, when its water is slightly warmer. As the water warms later in the season, snapper spread across the inlet.
Shallow weed beds, broken ground and rubble hold squid. McLoughlin’s Beach offers land-based fishing for whiting, squid and flathead.
Strong tides can require heavy sinkers. Lures and soft plastics are difficult to fish in the current, though slack water around high tide offers an opportunity.

Rigs, Bait and Lures

Fresh squid is a bait option at drop-offs. Other listed baits include salmon, pilchard, trevally, scad, crabs and garfish.
For the strong tides and larger fish, one suggested setup is an 8–12 kg rod with an 8000 size reel. For snapper, a lighter option is a 7–8 ft, 4–7 kg rod with a 4000 size reel, 12–18 lb monofilament and single or double snelled size 5 or 6 hooks.
For gummy sharks, a paternoster rig presents multiple baits at different heights and allows long casts. Running sinker and single or double snelled rigs are other options. Suggested tackle is a 7–8 ft, 6–12 kg or 8–15 kg rod, 4000–6000 size reel, 20–40 lb line, 40–60 lb leader and 5/0–7/0 octopus or circle hooks.
Smaller, slow-sinking size 2.5 or 3.0 squid jigs can reduce snagging. Let the jig sink, then retrieve with lifts and pauses.

Access and Hazards

Boat access is via Port Welshpool; head right into the inlet from the launch. McLoughlin’s Beach provides a land-based option.
The inlet entrance is very shallow. Visible snags and structures also need attention while navigating.
Sections of Corner Inlet are marine park or marine sanctuary areas where fishing is prohibited.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Corner Inlet, today?

No. Because a forecast cannot 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. We hope you enjoy using Getfished to find your next great fishing spot!

Fishing report summaries are derived from Getfished’s structured fishing report database system. More information on this on how we collect and structure fishing report data can be found on our Fishing reports information.

Forecasts are based on the Getfished Meteorological and Solunar Forecasting System, which combines data from the BOM, and other sources. Our custom software systems use these inputs to establish solunar, tides and other forecasts for fishing conditions.
