Geelong Fishing

Geelong Fishing Guide

Geelong is right on Corio Bay and has plenty of great fishing spots, whether you’re on land, in a kayak, or out in a boat.

If you have a boat, you can launch from St Helens, which has floating pontoons, or from Limeburners, which has toilets and a fish cleaning table. From these ramps, you can fish the inner harbour, the north side of Corio Bay, and the wider Bellarine area. If you’d rather fish from shore, there are lots of places to try, like Cunningham Pier, Rippleside Pier, Wangim Walk, Limeburners Jetty, St Helen’s rock walls, and other spots along the waterfront. You don’t need a boat to enjoy fishing here.

The semi-industrial shoreline features deep water, sturdy structures, and lights that attract fish.

Cunningham Pier goes about 350 metres into Corio Bay so that you can reach deeper water. Wangim Walk is around 440 metres long and puts you over pylons and muddy ground where fish like to feed.

If the wind is coming from the west, the inner harbour is a sheltered place to fish, and Point Henry gives you protection while letting you fish along deeper channel edges. Snapper are most active from October to April, especially near dawn, dusk, or when the tide changes. In summer, high tide can bring pinkies close to shore, while low tide is better for flathead.

Land-Based Fishing

For land-based fishing, try moving around and testing different spots instead of staying in one place. As a rough guide, look for pylons, rock walls, lit pier edges, muddy bottoms, and sandy flats. Different structures and depths attract different types of fish species.

Try dropping lightly weighted baits or soft plastics next to pylons for bream and pinkie snapper.

For flathead, cast across mud or sand.

Around jetties and piers, popular baits are pilchards, squid, silver whiting, chicken, prawns, pipis, and mussels.

Use paternoster or running-sinker rigs, and adjust them for the wind, tide, and how far you want to cast. Be careful at night, since you’re more likely to catch eels, scorpionfish, stingrays, and other unwanted fish.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Geelong, 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!

Summer Fishing

Snapper and Whiting 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.

Fishing Lip Grips - Fishing gear

Fishing Lip Grips are essential tools for anglers, allowing for safe handling of fish while minimizing harm to both the fish and the angler. These grips are designed to securely hold the fish by the lip, making it easier to remove hooks and release the fish back into the water.

To use Fishing Lip Grips, follow these steps: 1) Open the grips and position them around the fish's lower jaw. 2) Squeeze the handles to securely hold the fish. 3) Carefully remove the hook while keeping the fish steady. 4) Release the fish back into the water gently. Always handle fish with care to ensure their survival after release.
