Top tips close to Melbourne

Hi all My daughter (12yo) and I go fishing a bit, mostly over summer and/or when on holiday at Phillip Island, Gippsland, Barwon Heads etc. Our preference is beach fishing although I think pier fishing would also suit us. We're happy as long as we get some nibbles and are a fair chance to pull somet...

Re: Phillip Island suggestions

Apologies for the late follow-up. Due to managing family activities etc, mainly fished off the beach around Ventnor. One 34cm whiting, undersized flatheads, a squid and half a dozen toadies! Good fun though, had great weather so it was pleasure to stand knee deep in the water and relax for a bit!

I'd suggest Cat Bay area at night for gummies if you can dodge the park rangers other spots are off the rocks for whiting off pyramids or racetracks.
Nice! Thanks for the tip.

Try Silverleaves area after dark for some whiting off the beach.
Great to know. That's a nice beach to visit anyway!

Re: Croajingolong NP/Thurra River

Also, while fishing at Mueller there were sporadic episodes of fish jumping a good foot out of the water. To my untrained eye I think they would've been Tailer? Tried casting a lure out to where they were jumping a couple of times but no luck. Anyway, again good for the kids to see!

Re: Croajingolong NP/Thurra River

Back from a great trip. Staying at Thurra made it a little harder for fishing as I didn't have a surf rod so had to do a 45-min walk to Mueller River along the beach to fish. However, did that a couple of times and pulled in plenty of just-undersized bream, which was fine and good fun. Also a great ...
