Flinders Jetty – Western Port fishing spots, Victoria

Flinders Jetty, or pier, is at the end of Bass Street in Bass Park on the Mornington Peninsula.

This jetty is best known for big squid, best in spring.

The run-in tide is the best time to fish.

Squid are caught in day and night, but are often best at dawn and dusk.

The water clarity is usually good and the squid can be seen following jigs.

Cast into sand patches for king george whiting.

Expect also salmon, silver trevally, barracouta, pike, flathead, yakkas, gar and mullet.

Wrasse and leatherjackets are caught around the pylons.

Sharks and rays turn up, especially at night.

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

Small soft plastic lures work well on snapper and flathead, with chrome slices for Australian salmon and barracouta.

There are toilets, parking and shops are nearby.
