If trying from Brighton, try on the main part of the pier as well from in front of the baths all the way up to the sheltered seating spot on the left as well as the rockwall at the back mate.
Good luck :thumbsup:

Hey guys, any update on this list? Are Mordialloc pier, Beaumaris pier and Brighton pier the best bets?

Guys, went there today at 6:30am. No luck. The pier is closed behind the marina. In theory, you could go through using the rocks as a passage but I am not sure about potential fines. In a 1:30 minutes session, I have probably counted 100 swimmers.

Yeah is a nice day for a swim.
Try Beaumaris. A mate went there couple days ago and caught a decent squid.

Depends how far up the peninsula you are willing to go give it a week and the squid will be at Mornington in numbers and IMO that’s the best place for squid use red 2.5 jigs and if it’s a hot day fish the lower ledge on the inside but if it’s a colder overcast day fish shallower

Makes me wonder where they are at the moment, because they're definitely not at St Leonards either haha
Pretty much all the squid caught start of Dec had eggs, I reckon end of this month should be awesome.
