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

Summer Fishing

King George Whiting and Squid 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

Garfish, King George Whiting and Squid 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

Garfish, King George Whiting and Squid 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 and Squid becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as King George Whiting and Squid begin to move into the area and can become more common at the pier.

Rye Pier Fishing

Rye gets packed out during the summer holiday period in particular. Its a family holiday spot for many due it Rye’s extensive shopping district, proximity to a large number of attractions. Plus, most importantly, it attracts a great range of species. Including Bronze Whaler sharks.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Rye 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!
