I've caught some legal-sized leatherjackets at Portsea Pier, though sometimes it's hard to get past all the wrasse. Aside from some of the other piers mentioned above, I'd maybe give Black Rock Pier a go at high tide if you're looking at the south-east. Any pier that gives you access to a bit of reef and rock is worthy of an exploratory session or two.
You mean 1 cm long? Every size is legal for this fish.
I should've said pan-size :rf:

I have to be proud that 90% fish I have caught are bigger than pan size.
