Corinella Pier – Western Port fishing spots, Victoria

Corinella Pier is off Peter Street in Corinella, next to a caravan park.

This platform has a handy L-shape and it is next to a deep channel.

There is usually plenty of space to fish, although the jetty is popular during holidays.

Big fish are sometimes caught here, including gummy sharks, elephant fish, snapper and very occasional mulloway.

Also expect KG whiting, salmon, flathead, leatherjackets, yakkas, trevally, coutta, squid and garfish.

Salmon and elephant fish are best in winter, flathead are all year, with snapper in summer.

The tide flows hard in the channel, fishing is better and easier from the jetty at high tide.

Floating weed is sometimes a problem.

Pilchards, bluebait (small pilchards), prawns and squid are good baits.

When the water is clear and free of weed small soft plastic lures work well on snapper and flathead, with chrome slices for salmon and barracouta.

Nearby rocky foreshores produce good snapper.

Tenby Point can be fished at low tide, then go to the jetty at high tide.

There is a rock wall leading to a sandbar channel drop-off at Tenby that fishes well for gummy sharks on a rising tide.

There are toilets and a general store near the pier.
