Hey mate,

There are plenty of great spots for chasing land-based calamari near Geelong, with some of the best being on the Bellarine.
Check out my previous posts fishing Clifton Springs, St Leonard's and Queenscliff land-based.

Clifton Springs - Boat Ramp Jetty, this spot is super shallows 1-2m depth, but fires up with good numbers of calamari coming in to the shallows. High tide and dusk are prime time in this spot.

Portarlington - Plenty of squid get caught from here, water is a bit murkier and more challenge these days with the ferry.

Indented Heads Boat Ramp - Great spot for squid at dusk amongst the shallows.

St Leonards - IMO the best spot for calamari, great tidal flow, depth, etc. Sure spot for calamari.

Queenscliff - Great spot, less weed bed these days but still plenty of squid.


Another alternative is anywhere on the Bellarine with a surf rod and squid jig, or baited jig. Works great in that 2-4m depth.

Ended up going to lorne and catching none so I then drove to St leonards. Got there at about 10:30 pm and then caught 1 arrow squid at about 11 pm. Nothing after that tho
