LAND-BASED Report – 02.09.2024
Spring is here, however, the weather was horrendous last week with gale-force winds and a cold winter chill. As I cautoned in last week’s report please be very careful when planning your fishing trips. Monday the 2nd of September has winds up to 100 k/ph in some regions around Melbourne and Victoria, so don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger. Unfortunately, a poor angler lost their life this week at Rye Pier in very strong winds trying to recover some tackle that he dropped in the water. Our condolences go out to his family and all who knew him and is a friendly reminder to all to stay safe, no fish is worth risking your life. If you need some alternative fishing ideas from the bay whilst the weather is rough jump onto our freshwater fishing report which has all the info about the latest Stonker trout stocking.
Metro Stonkers are here, all the details are shared below in the trout report in where to go and how to catch them. Also, stay tuned for Wednesday’s FishingMad YouTibe episode which goes into great detail on where and how to catch them aswell. Quite a few snapper were caught in Western Port this week thanks to a spike in water temperature. Historically Port Phillip Bay is about 2-4 weeks behind Western Port and most of the snapper being caught are in the top end between Hastings and Lang Lang. So those areas land-based would be a good option to try your luck at an early season snapper. Squid and King George Whiting are fishing quite well at the moment but you may need to travel to get onto them. Close to the heads at places like Flinders, St Leonards and Sorrento are good choices for them right now.
The salmon and tailor are still around but with a spike of warm weather, the pumps did not run this past week and fishing for them was much slower. There was also good squid fishing at St Leonards, Flinders and Lorne. Pinkies and gummy sharks land base fishing around Port Melbourne. Good catches of pinkies on soft plastics from Kerferd Road Pier through to Web Dock. Plus gummy sharks being caught at night on Lorimar street pier. We also had some great catches of Estuary Perch in the Patto River near the entrance which was best on evenings with bait, shallow diving lures and surface lures.
Let’s get stuck into this week’s report to help get you into a few fish.
Weather Forecast Ahead
It will be another frustrating weather week ahead with very strong winds on Monday and Wednesday, from there scattered showers will settle in for the rest of the week. With heavy showers predicted on Friday and light showers over the weekend. The good news is the weekend ahead looks to have light winds and low volumes of rain. It’s been a frustrating 2-3 weeks of weather so let’s hope we get some better weather in the coming weeks. Do be careful if you plan to hit the water study met eye and always avoid going out if it’s unsafe, this week will have some days better suited to land-based fishing.
Weather conditions are always changing so study the weather forecast frequently before your fishing trip using tools like Meteye, Willys Weather & Windy ( links to these tools can be found in “helpful Links” ). Remember to check wind strength, wind direction, rain, and storm warnings. We have workshop refreshers that help you identify areas with low swell based on wind direction, so look at those if you’re unsure. Know the capability of your boat, kayak or jetski and never take unnecessary risks that might put you or your passengers in danger. Conditions on the water can change quickly so ensure you have all of the necessary safety equipment checked and ready. Remember to be sun smart during Summer as it’s easy to get sunburnt or dehydrated and to wear appropriate clothing in cold and wet conditions.
Water Temp
The water temperatures dropped 0.3 of a degree across the board this week due to cold, windy and rainy weather. The water temperatures right now in PPB are hovering around 12.5 and in Western Port 12.5 -14 degrees. There are some exciting early season results but we are 2-33 weeks away from the fishing starting to improve. Once we get to mid-September we start to see the water temperature rise rapidly and that’s when the fishing gets really exciting.
Moon Phase week ahead
The new moon is scheduled for Tuesday 3rd of September so we have very slow tides this week. This can be great for bread and butter fishing like targeting squid and flathead.
TROUT REPORT
The METRO STONKERS are here !! For those who don’t know these are giant rainbow trout ( ex brood stock ) that have been put into family-friendly fishing lakes around Metro Melbourne. Here are the location details you need to know.
My favourite way of catching stonkers is fishing with lures. My go-to lures are pressed metal spoons like old wobblers, nories wasaby and Pontoon 21 paco spoon. They cast a mile and you simply do a constant slow roll. Tassie Devils also work great as do mid/shallow diving hard body lures. I have caught most in bright silver and gold colours and have caught heaps in the 75mm double clutch in gold/black. Soft plastics such as 2.5 inch paddle tails in bloodworm, chartreuse and black/gold also work great. And of course, bait fishing with powerbait, scrub worms and maggots also works fantastic. ideally from a very light running sinker rig or float. You can also throw out trout pellets in the immediate area if you’re bait fishing. There are several workshops on Stonkeirs, trout lures and trout baits in our workshop area if you need a refresher. Now you need to be quick as once catches start going live on social media they get fished out pretty quickly. So get amongst it as it’s great fun.
PINKY/SNAPPER REPORT
This week we saw some decent land based pinkies and snapper pulled in Port Phillip Bay around Portarlington and St Leonards. It’s crazy early in the season in PPB bu the signs are very promising for a massive season ahead. As mentioned last week snapper season has officially started in Western Port. It’s still very early on in the season but already we’re seeing some great catches from members and got stuck into a few good fish ourselves. Some helpful tips to share with you as you try and get stuck into a few decent reds is. Concentrate your time right now on the top end of Western Port as this is historically where snapper congregate first early on in the season due to their usual spawning movements and habits. Use fresh baits like yakkas and salmon even live baits like yakkas and slimeys pinned through the nose will work well. I prefer to use smaller hooks early on in the season often using size 3 and size 4 hooks and I like to keep my drag set very loose as early season they can be extremely finicky and often a big red bite will look more like a pinky or flathead bite at first. Fish through an entire tide change at some point you will often get a round of fish come through, again concentrating your time on the top end. Port Phillip Bay is getting a few odd snapper here and there but is most likely another 3-4 weeks away before we see catches consistently.
Fishing for pinkies this past week was really productive having a couple of great sessions around Williamstown at Anne Street Pier, a few in the shallow’s around Altona. Most of these pinkies were between 30 and 45 cm. They are heaps of fun to catch on light spinning gear especially if you enjoy fishing with soft plastics. The pinkies were also on the chew at the Geelong waterfront area just out the entrance of the Patterson ramp and in the shallows around Carrum, Ricketts Point and Black Rock.

Soft plastics continue to be a top choice for pinkies. Great options include 4 inch turtleback worms, 2.5 inch grubz, 3-inch, and 4-inch paddle tails. I’m rigging these with a 1/8 ounce jig head in sizes 2-0 and 3-0 depending on the size of the soft plastic. This time of year with water temps dropping you do need to work them nice and slow. They will often hit the plastic as it is sinking or as it is sitting on the bottom. many of these soft plastics are buoyant so they will still have enticing action when doing very little. For bait, I prefer a paternoster rig for optimal casting distance. These typically have size 2, 3, and size 4 hooks. Rigged up with baits including fresh squid, salmon or staple packet silver whiting, and pilchards. Raw chicken is also a dynamite choice if you are keen to catch a few pinkies. My setup this time of year is a 9 foot 4-8kg surf rod paired with a Saragosa 6000 and 20lb braid when land-based fishing with bait, and a 2-5 kg rod paired with a 2500 size reel and 14lb braid when fishing with soft plastics.
SQUID REPORT
Squid reside in shallow weedy zones and many of our piers and jetties fit into this category perfectly. I have been catching plenty land-based at St Leonards, Lorne, Queenscliff, and on the other side around Flinders, Sorrento, Mt Martha, and Blairgowrie. For me the standout areas this past week were Flinders, Blairgowrie and St Leonards. I caught many big squid on the boat at Queenscliff so you could also try Queenscliff Pier. Such a shame Pilot Pier is closed to fishing as that spot would be amazing.
When targeting squid from piers for squid I always spend time looking for ink stains which is a great giveaway on productive spots. With all forms of land-based fishing, there can be several hours of quiet followed by frantic catches. Generally, the busier periods are on first light and last light or during a tide change. I pick the occasions when I target squid and that’s usually after a couple of days with low winds and swell because squid fishing is always better in clear water conditions. They rely heavily on their eyesight and will aggressively chase down jigs in clear water conditions. Squid jig colours and sizes are an endless debate. Some will swear that colours and size make all the difference and others will swear it makes none. I more have confidence squid jig colours and sizes which I generally work my way through. recently I have really taken a liking to UV silver squid jigs. The reason for this is there has been a mass of baitfish in our bays in recent weeks. The squid are actually feeding on these baitfish. The Yamashita Egi Oh live in colour 037 has been a standout for me in recent weeks. Again, I think it’s more about having a range of colours and sizes and being prepared to make changes when the bite isn’t happening. Mustad Fatsache and Cobalt Blue egi snaps make this process a lot easier and quicker so I’d highly suggest getting some of those.
Suggested land-based spots for squid that are fishing well now include
- Flinders Pier
- Queenscliff pier
- Sorrento Pier
- St Leonards Pier
- Portsea Pier
- Blairgowrie Pier
- Sorrento Pier
- Mount Martha Cliffs
- Rye Pier
- Rosebud pier
- Frankston pier
WHITING REPORT
The fishing for King George Whiting has been really good in the bay this past few weeks and we’re starting to see that also translate into some good land-based fishing too. Areas like Mt Martha, Sorrento, and St. Leonards have been producing good numbers. Whiting schools up in huge numbers often around sandy patches amongst thick weed beds and are more active in murky water conditions. Both baits and soft plastics are fishing well, and you can choose your preferred method. For soft plastics 4-inch turtlebacks and fat hollow sandworms on a 1/12 jig head and attached stinger hook and for baits continue with pipis, small squid strips, and mussels. I find on some days they prefer baits and on other days they prefer plastics. That’s why I generally have both options with me and let the conditions come to me depending on what they prefer that day.
Here are many productive marks we have been catching in recent weeks.
-
- Sorrento
- St Leonards
- Mt Martha rocks
- Werribee Rockwall ( slow but a few occasional whiting )
- Queenscliff
- St Helens Rock wall

Western Port
- Flinders
- Merricks Beach
- Corinella Pier
- Cowes Pier
Offshore
- Lorne Pier

AUSTRALIAN SALMON REPORT
Once again plenty of Australian Salmon on the bite this week. I found a massive school near the boat ramp at Queenscliff and also got stuck into a huge school opposite the footy oval at Williamstown. The pumps haven’t been on this past week and even the OpenNEM website was down so only a few getting about at the warmies after our crazy couple of weeks on them. Members also reported big schools of them around Port Melbourne, St Kilda, Geelong, Frankston, Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Mt Martha.
Good ways of catching salmon include long casting metal spoons, heavily weight soft plastics ( 2.5 to 4-inch paddle tails in natural colo9urs a standout choice ), also baits such as pilchard and squid on a paternoster rig. Working the metal spoons and soft plastics at a constant medium retrieve. The salmon should hang around for a little while longer so always have some gear ready to go as they make for so much fun, good eating if bleed properly, and great bait for snapper and gummy sharks.
Suggested land-based spots for Australian Salmon that are fishing well now include
- Lorne Pier
- Fishermans Bay Torquay
- Altona’s small rock wall near the boat ramp
- Cunningham Pier
- Mornington Pier
- Lorne Pier
- St Helens
- Princess Pier
- Apollo Bay
- Mt Martha Rocks
- Werribee Wyndham Harbour Rockwall
- Patterson Lakes Entrance
TAILOR REPORT
Much quieter this week for Tailor as the pumps didn’t run much due to the spike in warm weather so the overflow wasn’t required. The OpenNEM website was down this week but you can still follow it to see if the pumps are running.
Productive areas to concentrate your time on include.
- The Warmies
- Barwon River entrance
GARFISH REPORT
Targeting gars at your local pier or jetty is a simple yet pleasing form of fishing. The action can be quite frantic when the mini marlin comes on the chew. These beautiful fish provide lots of fun and terrific eating qualities. Gars love shallow weedy zones and there are many land-based piers and jetties across Melb and Victoria that provide excellent access. The key to catching gars consistently is berley. You can easily make your own berley mix using bread, chook pellets, pilchards, tuna, or aniseed oil, or buy premade garfish berley from your local tackle store. A handful of berley thrown into the same isolated area every 5-10 minutes is key. You can even dip your baits in scents such as aniseed. Stand-out bait choices are either silverfish and even bread or dough on a quill float. My favorite has always been 4 or 5 live maggots carefully threaded on a tiny size 12 hook. Remember garfish have very small mouths so make sure you’re using small hooks otherwise you’ll get plenty of hits but low hookup rates. I generally run with something like size 12 or 14 Mustad long shanks.
Mordialloc, Mt Martha, Daveys Bay, and Beaumaris have been the standout options in recent weeks. The Mornington Peninsula side has been fishing well. They have also been fishing OK in the Bellarine peninsula side but not as consistently and seem to be a tad slower than the same time last year.
Suggested land-based spots for garfish that are fishing well now include
- Beaumaris Jetty
- Frankston Pier
- Mordialloc pier
- Kerferd Road Pier
- St Leonards Pier
- Schapper Point Mornington
- Queenscliff Marina
- Portsea Pier
- Sorrento Pier
- Mount Martha Cliffs
- Rye Pier
- Patterson Lakes at the entrance
- Rosebud pier
- Lagoon Pier
- Dromana Pier
- Seaford Pier
- Mordialloc Pier
- Sandringham rock wall
- Portarlington Jetty
- Swan Bay Jetty
SURF REPORT
There are many great surf fishing spots I continue to find myself fishing the surf at Torquay and Gunammata. With the water temperature at its lowest, it’s a great time to fish in the surf. Generally targeting Australian Salmon, gummy sharks, and even the odd Mulloway. I’ve recently had a few surf fishing sessions at Torquy of Fishermans Beach towards the entrance of town. I generally start my sessions with a 10-foot or 12-foot spin rod casting metals for Australian Salmon. This has been fishing well using metal spoons anywhere from 20 grams through to about 100 grams. I cast them out and as soon as the lure hits the water I close the bail arm and do a constant reel at a medium to fast pace. Salmon are a pelagic fish species that loves to chase down bait so this works really well. I’ve caught many salmon up to 55 cm using this technique which can be lots of fun when the schools are about. It’s a taxing form of fishing with crashing waves, high currents, and casting and working heavy gear.
Then once the evening comes I change tactics and cast out some big baits ( generally a chunk of freshly caught salmon ) on throughout some big baits waiting for gummy sharks. I recently had a cracking session catching 7 gummies up to a meter and even a small bronze ( do handle with care ). I generally run a single paternoster rig or double paternoster rig so I can get ample casting distance. I also try to time my casts in between waves so I can walk out as far as possible and get big baits into productive grounds. before fishing, I’ll sometimes walk the beach edge and look for gutters. From a distance, these are identified by colour changes and even water movement changes. The logic is that sharks will move through these gutters for an easy feed of crustaceans. Small steps of preparation of fresh bait and fishing gutters can be the difference between a productive day and a quiet day so always take some time to give yourself the best chances. The same setups and logic will apply if you fishing in other known surf areas such as Gunamatta, Kilcunda, Barwon heads, Rye, and many others.
GUMMY SHARK REPORT
The new moon will pass later this week so the nights and evenings will be dark. Historically I have found gummies to fish better closer to the full moon however there will still be a few decent gummies on the bite in the evenings if you can brave the cold conditions. We have seen plenty of smaller size gummy sharks caught this past week at Lorimar and Kerferd road piers in Port Melbourne as well as Web Dock. Fresh chunk baits are the standout on paternoster rigs. There is some good fishing right now for gummy sharks in Port Phillip Bay at St Leonards, Swan Island, Sorrento and Western Port around Tenby Bay, Lang Lang, and Grantville. These areas are highly tidal so you will need to plan your fishing sessions carefully. Take a variety of sinker weights so you can make adjustments during tide changes. For me, this will be anything from 3 ounces through to 12 ounces. You may also have moments where weed build-up can become frustrating. Unfortunately, this is part and parcel of high tidal areas and sometimes you just need to fish through these challenges.
Some of these areas can also be challenging to access at low tide, so sometimes fishing for 2 hours on each side of high tide is best purely from an access point of view. It’s also a good time when gummies will come into the shallows and eat crustaceans like crabs. Gummy sharks will eat just about anything, but fresh bait is key to catching them consistently. My top bait choices will include salmon, trevally, squid, mackerel and surprisingly rays. ( yes sharks eat them ). These oily fish make an awesome scent trail which is key for catching gummies. If you can’t get fresh bait then your staple baits such as squid, pilchards, scad, and mackerel from the local tackle store should also be OK. Depending on the weed build I will jump from a loop knot rig with the hook elevated to avoid pest species, as well as a paternoster rig and western port rig. My preferred is usually a paternoster rig which gives me optimal casting distance and 2 baits out in the water. Again, you may need to make adjustments on the go depending on weed build-up and current flow.
The best shark fishing is at night. I have been doing some all-nighters around the Bellarine Peninsula and landed a few bronze whalers up to 3 meters and no shortage of 7 gillers. Just on the main beaches around Swan Island, St. Leonards and Indented Heads.

MULLOWAY REPORT
It’s never easy to catch these elusive fish but this week would be a great time to try being it is a few days after the full moon. It’s prime Mulloway fishing time and we have started to see some great catches around the Yarra, Patterson and Maribyrnong rivers at the entrances just of Port Phillip. The warmies had the pumps running for almost 2 weeks straight and this has brought many mullet and yakkas on which the mulloway are actively feeding.
You can target mulloway with fresh baits and ideally live baits. For fresh bait I will use large squid strips of tentacles of squid caught that day rigged in a pair of 3/0 or 4/0 snelled hooks however most catches have been using live yakkas and live mullet pinned carefully in the back or nose, so it pays to fish the morning and get your live bait and keep them alive using a livewll or portable aerator. You can catch live bait by taking very small hooks, small pieces of bait like prawn, raw chicken or pilchards on the lightest running sinker rig or suspended for a float. Berley hard and fish that isolated area. Sometimes it can take some time for that berley trail to work. I often do this around the warmies or Flemington. Sometimes I will chase them at times with 2.5-inch grubz and 2.5-inch paddle tails lathered in s-factor or the ever reliable 4-inch turtleback worm on a 1/16 or 1/12 jig head in the smallest hook gauge size.
Productive areas to concentrate your time on include.
- Warmies
- Yarra River
- Patterson Rover entrance and near the bridge
- Maribyrnong River
- Nelson River
- Hopkins River
- Barwon River
- Anderson inlet
TREVALLY REPORT
Finally started to see some catches of Silver trevally around the Barwon region. Sheep wash road and Bawon Heads bridge produced a few nice trevallies on bait and small soft plastics such as 2.5-inch grubz and paddle tails rigged on a 1/8 2-0 or 1/12 1-0 if the current allows for it to hit the bottom. I love targeting trevally they punch well above their weight and will reside in tidal areas which they use to their advantage when caught.
Areas to focus on should include.
- Sheepwash Road Barwon heads
- Barwon heads Bridge Jetty
- Queenscliff harbour
FLOUNDER REPORT
It’s an awesome time of year for floundering. I’ve been walking the shallows at night with a few good mates locally armed with a hand spear and underwater light and catching heaps. Historically I haven’t done a lot of this type of fishing or hunting but I will admit it’s lots of fun. Also fascinating to see the volume of other species cruising the shallows at night including rays, flathead, whiting, salmon and much more. I’ve done this at Altona, Port Melbourne, Campbells Cove and Kirks Point. You could do this in so many different locations, just walking the shallows. I highly recommend wearing waders or some form of protective footwear as you will come across stingrays and other species that could sting you.
It’s a great way to get a feed and have fun in the evenings and nights.
FLATHEAD REPORT
Finally, flathead are starting to come on the bite, which is welcome news. We have started to see them being caught a bit more consistently by land-based anglers. As I launched my boat from Limeburners Point on Monday I got chatting with several land-based anglers fishing on the Rockwall who had been catching them in good numbers. Having a few quick flicks with soft plastics at Werribee, Web Dock, Werribee and St Kilda I also managed to land a few. Flathead landbased will happily take a variety of soft plastics, lures and baits. When bait fishing ill usually use a paternoster rig with small hooks and strips of squid or pilchard. When soft plastics fishing I generally use 3 and 4-inch paddle tails and grubs on a 1/8 and 1/6 jig head in size 2-0 and 3-0. Working them nice and slowly and keeping them as close to the bottom at all times.
Hot spots that are fishing well include
- St Kilda pier and rocks
- Sandringham Rockwall
- Webb Dock
- St Leonards Pier
BREAM REPORT
The bream fishing is still exceptional in the Gippsland region in Gippy Lakes, lake Tyers, Bemm River and Hollands Landing. Good size ones and in good volumes. With the current water temperatures, the bream are widespread in the shallows and flats. So you can work a variety of soft plastics hard body lures and even baits. Around Melbourne, I’ve done a few trips around Williamstown, Maribyrnong River, Barwon River, Yarra River, and Docklands, and even ventured down to Patterson River. I’ve been mixing up the techniques of fishing with bait, lures, and plastics. As mentioned above I have been fishing with plastics, lures, and bait. I’ve caught up with a few of my old mates who fish the nong with bait almost daily and they have been catching bream up to 42cm in big numbers. Many of these fish are being caught around the Essendon, Flemington, and Avondale Heights area on live baits including maggots, yabbies, and scrub worms. Berley does help so use feeder rigs or berley in an isolated area which will bring the bream and mullet in.
The fish are starting to move again and catches becoming more regular. 2 months ago fishing these same spots with lures and plastics was very slow. Now you should expect a few good fish and generally good-sized ones. I have been fishing these areas walking the banks and also navigating around on my Hobie Lynx. I work shallow diving hard body lures like cranks, chubbies, and minnow imitations slowly hard up against bridge pylons, timber structures, and any visible tress. This has worked well snagging a few good size fish at areas like the Footscray bridge. I have also fished with the usual soft plastics 2.5-inch grubs and 2.5-inch paddle tails rigged on a hws jig head from 1/12 through to 1/28. Working these along the shallow edges, structure, and even in open water. I’ve caught some nice fish employing these basic techniques. Even Port Melbourne, Docklands, and around the CDB have heaps of stricture that hold good fish. Along the moored boats, jetties, and buildings on the water are standout areas to wor lures, vibes, crabs, and soft plastics. Adding some scent to all of the above when the bite is a little quieter.
I’ve also done quite well on the Yarra on stretches opposite the MCG and near the West Gate bridge. The same principles apply here. Baits work well same as mentioned above but also raw chicken for pinkies. With warmer temperatures on the way these rivers and estuaries will continue to fish better and better, so 100% great spots to dedicate some time to over the festive break. A few of our members have been fishing the Yarra on small boats and kayaks. They have been doing quite well in the early mornings and really targeting the shallow edges. The standout choices continue to be cranka crabs, mussel vibes and grubz worked ever so slowly. We’re starting to see more anglers use technology advancements like live scope which is a great way to see fish residing in structure. Watching them follow lures and plastics on the screen is fascinating.
Areas to focus on should include.
- Lake Tyers
- Bemm River
- Gippsland Lakes
- Hollands Landing
- Patterson River
- Maribyrnong River
- Williamstown near moored boats
- Web dock
- West Gate
- Limeburner’s by Kayak
