Fishing Times, Solunar, Reports
Today's Kerferd Road Pier fishing forecast points to strong feeding potential, with peak solunar bite times worth targeting. The major period sees the moon underfoot, which supports the possibility of increased fish feeding activity. Light rain; still fishable, on the plus side, often fewer anglers to compete with.

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

This product is one of my personal favourites. Rigmate is a versatile fishing rig DIY tool that lets you make your own rigs without tying complicated dropper knots. Saving time and frustration. Just spool off the number of loops you need and attach hooks and a sinker or berley cage. I usually allow an extra loop so I can just attach the whole rig to my snap swivel attached to my mainline.
The product is available in a range of line strengths from 5lb up to 1001lb. So it's great for a range of species, freshwater and saltwater. From paternoster rigs, running sinker and more.
