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

Summer Fishing

Squid, Garfish, Tommy Ruff, King George Whiting, Snook and Silver Trevally 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

garfish, tommy-ruff, king-george-whiting, pinkie-snapper and pinky-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

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 Garfish, Silver Trevally and Pinkie Snapper becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Squid, Garfish, Tommy Ruff, King George Whiting, Snook and Silver Trevally begin to move into the area and can become more common at the jetty.

Sorrento Jetty Fishing

Not a common destination, this little jetty is right next to the boat ramp. It does in fact attract a variety of fish species throughout the year and is an easy jetty to fish. Just be respectful of boat users as its primary function is to assist them launching and retrieving. If in doubt retrieve your line out of their way. Note that this is not the same location as Sorrento Pier which is a much larger structure and more commonly fished from.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Sorrento Jetty, 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!
