Summer Fishing
Australian Salmon, Flathead, Gummy Shark, King George Whiting, Silver Trevally, Snapper, Squid, Whiting 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, 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 pier 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 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.
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 pier.
