Garfish, King George Whiting, Flathead, Squid and Australian Salmon can be targeted at the pier 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.
Garfish, flathead and squid are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the pier provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.
Garfish and Squid are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this pier 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 sees the water temperature begin to rise with Squid, Garfish and Flathead becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Garfish, King George Whiting, Flathead, Squid and Australian Salmon begin to move into the area and can become more common at the pier.
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.
