Being a land-based location using berley is extremely important in order to bring the fish towards jetty and you.

Summer Fishing

Squid, Garfish, Flathead and Pinkie Snapper can be targeted at the jetty 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

squid, silver-trevally and pinkie-snapper are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the jetty provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.

Winter Fishing

Squid and Garfish are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this jetty 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 Squid, Garfish and Pinkie Snapper becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Squid, Garfish, Flathead and Pinkie Snapper begin to move into the area and can become more common at the jetty.

Rosebud Pier Fishing

Rosebud Pier performs best for Squid and Garfish. While its a nice long pier the surrounding water is a bit shallow for other species to be relied upon. Its a popular holiday destination with great shopping district and plenty of accommodation.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Rosebud Pier, 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!
