Fishing Victoria Forum

I go to Lorne very often and i would say the Lorne pier at night time is the best place if you want a chance to catch a squid. If you want to get salmon, maybe try taking a boat out a bit, I've seen people go on a boat and come back with a some massive fish. You can also get some gummy sharks rarely...

If you think the problem is a dull hook, maybe try adding a small hook sharpening stone to your tackle box rather than continuing to keep swapping the hooks.
