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

Summer Fishing

Squid, King George Whiting, Flathead and Pinkie Snapper 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

king-george-whiting, squid and pinkie-snapper 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

Australian Salmon 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 Squid, Silver Trevally and Pinkie Snapper becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Squid, King George Whiting, Flathead and Pinkie Snapper begin to move into the area and can become more common at the pier.

Sorrento Pier Fishing

Sorrento Pier has always fished well and as you might expect is pretty popular. Especially in the summer months. The gotcha is you’re sharing the pier with the ferry. That can make it a lot busier. There’s a good range of species that move in and out seasonally. Squid can be caught year round and make a popular target.e Every year Giant Spider Crab migration takes place. These enormous crabs are popular with divers and tourists observing them.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Sorrento 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!
