Hi everyone! I made https://melbournepierfishing.com/ as a personal hobby project to help plan pier fishing around Melbourne.

Choose your starting suburb, driving limit and target species, and it compares nearby piers to suggest two options and fishing windows over the next 3 or 7 days. You can also look up a pier directly.

It’s free to use. I’d love feedback from local fishos: are the suggestions useful, and what would make planning a session easier?

The forecasts use broad weather and marine models, so please check local conditions, access and official warnings before heading out.

Disclosure: I built and run the site.

I’m heading to Byron for Christmas for 5 nights. Will be doing a a mix of hiking, beach, waterfalls, wellness retreat, flying my drone and ofcourse fishing.

Happy to hear your best recommendations regarding fishing spots all the way from Ballina up to Tweed Heads.

I”ll have a rental car and will be taking my fishing gear, which I’m buying for the first time end of this week.

Any other things to note which I should know about are also welcome. Thanks in advance

Found this washed up on the beach, northern NSW

I would appreciate if Somone would give this a read and give me some feedback:)

Have always released, want to try something new and try not to die in the proccess. Any suggestions, locations?
