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.
