The Barwon river us one of the most consistent fisheries in range if Melbourne

If you don't mind what you catch and the size then go to barwon, The river is absolutely loaded with small salmon and mullet, some big trevs too but are harder to find and more easily targeted off a boat.

Thanks DougieK might head down in the morning for a look ! Will post the results tomorrow night

Heard a rumour of a8 kilo snapper from.lagoon pier in last week....if i had the time would go to barwon ,then. squid sess at either st leonards or queenscliff.

Take some soft plastics and metals. I like berkley pumpkin seeds or nuclear chicken, shaky shads or prawns.

You can pump baits there as well, flick metals for salmon.

Hi guys,
Heard different stories, but can you still get out on station pier for a fish theses days as long as there in no cruise ship docked ?

I haven't fished there for awhile but that always used to be the case. If just the tas ferry us there was ok to fish but if a cruise ship is docked they wouldn't allow me in there

I think the pier is closed only when a cruise ship is in.....otherwise you can get access to the end of the pier. I have been on there even when the Spirit is docked but not recently however.

I also heard of a few nice Snappers being caught off the end of the pier this season so far.
