Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Queenscliff, 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.

Summer Fishing

Australian Salmon, Flathead, Gummy Shark, King George Whiting, Silver Trevally, Snapper, Squid, Whiting and Yellowtail Kingfish can be targeted at the location 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, Hammerhead Shark, King George Whiting, Snapper, Squid and Whiting are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.

Winter Fishing

Flathead, Gummy Shark, King George Whiting, Silver Trevally, Squid and Whiting are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this location 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.

Spring Fishing

Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with Australian Salmon, King George Whiting, Silver Trevally, Snapper and Squid becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Australian Salmon, Flathead, Gummy Shark, King George Whiting, Silver Trevally, Snapper, Squid, Whiting and Yellowtail Kingfish begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.

To use Fishing Lip Grips, follow these steps: 1) Open the grips and position them around the fish's lower jaw. 2) Squeeze the handles to securely hold the fish. 3) Carefully remove the hook while keeping the fish steady. 4) Release the fish back into the water gently. Always handle fish with care to ensure their survival after release.
