Artillery Rocks
Artillery Rocks
Never done rock rishing down the coast before, thinking about
going this weekend to artillery rocks, or wherever round Lorne.
Can anyone give tips on rigs for targetting Snapper/Pinkies, Flathead, Salmon.... Paternoster rigs? Sinker weights? Hook a brother up! Cheers

Re: Artillery Rocks
Lorne pier is busy but good if the swell is up. And protected in a southwesterly. Only go off the end of the pier or to the left. Snags on right.
Not sure about rock platforms. Someone else will know.

Re: Artillery Rocks
I used to fish artillery rocks a hell of a lot in my 20's and get a lot of good fish, sambos, whiting, trevally barracouta to name some.
The problem I have found since moving back here from northern nsw is that there are shite loads of European wasps making it very difficult to baitfish. It is a great platform to fish from but these pests almost make it lure fishing only which is a big shame
Good luck if you have a go

What did you catch?
I wouldn't mind trying Artillery Rocks once I know the exact location.

Re: Artillery Rocks
Salmon is the main catch there, with some mullet to the left.. I tried to put a description of location in the other thread..

What rig do you have to catch salmon.
What size hook and sinker is best in this location.

Edit: Best times i find are Sunrise/Sunset around a high tide. I'd be really careful though if your not experienced, just like any other type of rock fishing..
