Kerferd Road Pier fishing offers a simple, easy-to-access pier that produces the usual fishing species on Port Phillip Bay.
Snapper, Flathead, Flounder, Trevally, Mullet are all caught by anglers.
There’s the odd big snapper – especially during a big blow, with the vast majority of catches being smaller pinky snapper and flathead.
As a general rule of thumb, fish the rising tide for snapper and pinkies, then the low and running out tide for flathead.
Keep in mind, as with all fishing spots, these rules are never hard and fast.
Kerferd Road Pier is closer to Albert Park and Port Melbourne. It is within range of the other fishing hotspots in the area if you’re looking to target a series of locations.
Kerferd Road Pier is a well-established historical fishing location. Because it’s so close to Melbourne, the pier can get busy at times.
However, catches of fish are often good for a variety of species.
But it is certainly well worth trying, especially if you live nearby!
This is because it is historically productive, is easy to access and offers a great range of fish species.
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.
