Suggestions for Phillip Island

[Sebb]

Mrs and I are going to Phillip Island for the weekend, staying in Rhyll.
I'm looking for something less crowded to fish with the mrs (so Cowes pier is definitely out).
Something like to sit and relax during the afternoon/evening, maybe just bait fish while eating snacks and drinks on a camping chair.
Where, what gear, etc.
TIA

Hi Sebastian depends how wind adverse you and your lady are

Sat SW wind forecast maybe Rhyll or better yet cleeland bight for squid or walk to the eastern entrance.

Sun SE if your happy to fish beaches etc maybe Vetnor area for squid behind mcaffies

Yeet out some squid spikes at Cleeland Bight if the wind is ok for it.

Thanks guys.
I have never done squid fishing off a beach. I'm guessing it's still the same setup? Long rod, squid spike, float. 1m under float?

This is great for monster squid

Also whiting are Cat bay / ventnor on the other side of the island

Ok cool
I'll bring two setups.
11ft rod for squid. 1m under float you reckon?
And a 9ft medium light rod for whiting.

Just a shitty old glass surf rod is the go for the squid, a squid spike plus bait weighs a bit and you don’t want to snap the tip of a lighter rod trying to cast too much weight.

Ok.
Not sure where I kept my old glass 13ft 12kg surf rod, but I have 11ft heavy graphite surf rod (12kg rod). Hopefully not gonna break it.
