Fishing Times, Solunar, Reports
There is good fishing potential at Wyndham Harbour today, especially if you can line up with the key solunar periods. The major bite period sees the moon underfoot. It is possible fish feeding activity could increase during this time. Light rain; still fishable, on the plus side, often fewer anglers to compete with.

Today's sunrise is 6:24 am and sunset is 7:46 pm. As a general guide, the hour before and after sunrise and sunset are often among the most productive fishing periods. Today's minor solunar periods overlap both the morning and evening fishing periods. The sea-surface temperature is 18.4°C, which is generally more amenable to feeding activity.

Being a land-based location using berley is extremely important in order to bring the fish towards pier and you.
Wyndham Harbour is a Port Phillip Bay fishing location at Werribee South, about 28 km from Melbourne, with a rock wall, marina setting and nearby beach water. The rock wall has been a key land-based option because it lets anglers reach deeper water and structure, although access has changed, with extensive fencing reported around parts of the wall.
Access around the marina is limited, and anglers may be asked to leave the boat access section after a certain time at night. A more practical approach is to reach the rock wall from the southern side via the main road rather than entering through the marina area.
The fishing value here comes from the mix of bay depth, rock wall structure and adjacent sandbar country. Casting southeast from the wall puts baits or lures into Port Phillip Bay water, where flathead are a regular target and pinky snapper can be worth considering through spring, summer and autumn. From the beach near Wyndham Harbour, deeper holes between sandbars are worth identifying before fishing, especially where the bottom changes create holding water. Summer can be busy, so expect more pressure from shore anglers, small boats and kayaks when conditions are calm.
Fishing the rock wall, the practical challenge is keeping bait clear of the structure while still fishing close enough to benefit from it. A paternoster rig is useful for bait fishing because it can hold the bait above the rocks and reduce time spent dragging through snags. Berley is a worthwhile part of the approach here when bait fishing, particularly if other anglers are present and fish need to be drawn into the area. Beach fishing should be more mobile: look for darker, deeper patches between sandbars and adjust casting distance rather than sitting on uniform shallow water.
If fishing the beach, a rod around 10 feet is suitable, with lighter gear preferred unless wind or a larger target requires extra casting weight. Small boats and kayaks can fish just off the shore when the bay is settled, but onshore wind is a serious consideration. Westerly wind can build chop quickly and make the return to land difficult for small craft. Shore anglers also need to respect local residents and other users: take home all rubbish, cigarette butts and discarded line, and keep rods and gear clear of walkways.
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.

This product is one of my personal favourites. Rigmate is a versatile fishing rig DIY tool that lets you make your own rigs without tying complicated dropper knots. Saving time and frustration. Just spool off the number of loops you need and attach hooks and a sinker or berley cage. I usually allow an extra loop so I can just attach the whole rig to my snap swivel attached to my mainline.
The product is available in a range of line strengths from 5lb up to 1001lb. So it's great for a range of species, freshwater and saltwater. From paternoster rigs, running sinker and more.
