Lorne Fishing Times
The forecast for Lorne is subdued today, so any bite window is likely to be brief. Because of the moon being overhead, the bite time currently forecasted offers potential for increased fish feeding activity. Drizzle may slightly improve feeding. Especially during solunar bite periods.

Interpretation
Pressure changes tend to matter more than the absolute value, especially when conditions are shifting.
Pressure is only one signal. Wind, tide, solunar timing, water movement, and local structure still matter.
Pressure movement
Recent readings build the pressure trend used for interpretation.

Reading the wind
Wind direction and strength can affect comfort, casting, and exposure around this location.
Wind gusts can be stronger than the average wind speed, so it's worth checking the gust forecast if you're planning to fish from an exposed location or need to know about potential changes in conditions.
Even modest wind can affect comfort and casting, especially where the water is exposed.
The marker shows the current wind direction, while the daily outlook below shows whether conditions are likely to build or ease over the coming days.

Marine interpretation
Wave: caution
Water: cold
Marine observations point to a reasonably fishable sea state.
Marine caution
Higher waves suggest a conservative approach, especially in exposed areas. Forecast wave heights are averages rather than peak conditions. Individual waves may exceed the forecast height at times. Wind and local chop can quickly affect comfort and control. Wave period around 12.55 s can influence how conditions feel on the water. Conditions in open water can change quickly, so keep checking throughout the session.
Water temperature
Water temperature is around 13.6 C, making immersion a more significant factor to plan for. Cool or cold water can affect grip, coordination, and swimming ability. Hypothermia is a real risk, particularly if you become immersed in the water. Wind and rough water can increase the impact of an accidental immersion.
Check local marine warnings, ramps, vessel limits and current conditions before heading out.

What are today's best fishing times at Lorne?

Find out what we learned from analysing 20,000 fishing reports about moon times and fish.
Summer Fishing
Bluefin Tuna and Yellowtail Kingfish 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
Gummy Shark 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
Australian Salmon and Bluefin Tuna 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.
Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Lorne, today?
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.

🛈 Getfished Fishing Report, Solunar & Conditions Summaries Source
Fishing report summaries are derived from Getfished’s structured fishing report database system. More information on this on how we collect and structure fishing report data can be found on our Fishing reports information.
Forecasts are based on the Getfished Meteorological and Solunar Forecasting System, which combines data from the BOM, and other sources. Our custom software systems use these inputs to establish solunar, tides and other forecasts for fishing conditions.
