Fishing Victoria Forum

Hey,

I am wanting to go to Cunningham Pier one of these days, and I was wanting some tips. How far up the pier should I go, what bait and what rig do I use?

Thanks!
Angus

Caught most of my fish on west side of pier. Not sure why. Have caught it all along the pier but only a few metres out seems to be popular spot.
Good old paternoster rig does the trick. However mostly get undersized flatties and pinkies. Still good fun.

Went to the pier today and was absolutely USELESS! Perfect time, change of ride, paternoster rig with pippies and blue bait! Everything was perfect! However, 1 tiny bream and nothing else. Could I please have some suggestions?

It's a start . Did you happen to speak to the locals fishing their on the day for tips ?

Welcome to fishing. Get used to that sort of thing

So true, catching a fish is just a bonus of going fishing, the real fun is buying stuff.

Corio bay has been really tough land based lately, for me anyway,, one banjo and a trevally from my last 10 outings.

there is a hole off one of the sides cant remember what side these days

Drop in to trellys tackle on Shannon avenue Geelong they will give you all the advice you want. Sign up for their reports costs nothing covers the Geelong region

Right hand side walking up, midway.
Used to fish every weekend without fail in my younger days
When their was only a big shed on their and you could fish
The top end past today's buildings/cafes
Memories :water:

Used to fish there alot, then since theyve painted "NO FISHING" all along it i kinda got put off all together. I caught pike up to 70cm, arrow squid, lots of silver whitings last year n a tone of snotty trevs from the right side half way down.
