Find out what we learned from analysing 20,000 fishing reports about moon times and fish.

Summer Fishing

Black Bream, Flathead, King George Whiting, Snapper 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

Black Marlin, Flathead and 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.

Mallacoota Fishing

Catch Saltwater Nippers aka Yabbies or Bass Yabbies

Nippers are a popular bait, especially when fresh. To catch your own at Mallacoota try the exposed sand and mud flats around the Mallacoota Inlet. You will find the the warmer months between December to Arpil to be the ideal time as these crustaceans are more active near to the surface.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Mallacoota, 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!
