Unfortunate LBG and Victoria are two things that don't really go together...

There's the very remote chance of catching a kingie from the rocks and infinitely more remote chance of landing a tuna.

To be brutally honest, fishing in Victoria sucks compared to most other states - particularly QLD, Northern NSW and mid-Northern WA.

The variety and size just isn't here - that's just a fact.

Gummies and 7-gillers don't count either! :-)

Oh to be able to live in FNQ...

Hooked a few eagle rays off the Mordi pier over the years, don't know if they classify as game fish but they sure give you a good workout.
Cheers

Wait for a offshore breeze and use a balloon to get a nice strip of mackeral out 200 metres and hope for the best. Plenty of spots on the Great ocean road to try.

Dont forget that the marine park starts 50m either side of the pier.
