Being a land-based location using berley is extremely important in order to bring the fish towards pier and you.

Summer Fishing

Carp, Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly 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.

Autumn Fishing

Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly 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.

Winter Fishing

Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly 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 Fishing

Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with Carp, Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Carp, Murray Cod, Redfin and Yellowbelly begin to move into the area and can become more common at the pier.

Irrigation Channels Fishing

Shepparton’s irrigation channels have proven to be a great alternative to fishing the Goulburn. Especially when the river is running high.

Popular fish species to target include Yellowbelly, Murray Cod and Redfin. Its possible to target them all year round here, however keep in mind Murray Cod season restrictions. Plus these species do tend to be more lethargic in the cooler months leading to few catches. Fish the structure. The so-called “Drop bars” that control the flow of water into the irrigation channels. Bridges and syphon areas are the spots to go casting. Look for areas where the water is being stirred up as that’s where the food is likely to be and the fish know that. When water levels increase in the channels this flush of freshwater can cause a bite increase from the fish.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Irrigation Channels, 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!
