Land based structures at Point Henry
Anyone know if there are legally accessible structures for land based fishing out at Point Henry? Not much out there but seems like it could be an okay spot for when the Geelong waterfront gets packed out.
Some of kayak launching spots look okay but might waders or beach setup to get out past the edges.

Re: Land based structures at Point Henry
It’s pretty muddy, shallow and weedy. I’ve launched the yak there but unless the give anglers access to the pier it wouldn’t be high on my list of land based locations.
If you’re kayaking there be mindful that the shipping channel is really close and the wake from the ships will break as soon as it hits the shallows.

Re: Land based structures at Point Henry
Cheers guys. Sounds like more trouble than it’d be worth so I’ll give it a miss. Would be fantastic if they opened the warf to land based fishers, thing goes out a long way.
Re: Land based structures at Point Henry
Years ago they opened Point Cook pier to anglers on a trial basis.
The pier was turned into a tip.
The straw that broke the camels back was when some cold anglers lit a fire on the end of the pier one night and set the pier on fire, i kid you not.
Unfortunately, as usual, the minority ruin it for everyone else.
I fish the Lee at Portland a bit and have noticed that even with bins provided that rubbish is still dropped all over the place.

Re: Land based structures at Point Henry
I went and checked out that area awhile ago and was quite disappointed LB. Was shallow, very weedy and muddy like mentioned. Thought it might be good for spearing but that wasn’t an option either.
Cheers.

Squid mostly, it’s pretty much a constant cover of weed.happyfriggincamper wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 10:03 amIs it worth going out on the yak?

I think there’s some whiting spots not far off in Stingaree Bay
There’s some rock and sand patches between The point and the channel but as mentioned be careful with the wake of big ships breaking in the shallows.
