Altona Pier

A good place to catch flat-head and garfish

End of Pier Street
Altona
Melbourne, VIC 3018
http://www.fishnet.com.au/

In summer the pick of the catch here is garfish. If that is your target and the winds are northerlies or light westerlies, then you can be virtually guaranteed a nibble, especially if you use a light bran bait. March is a good time for some massive flat-head, while squid are also plentiful in early autumn. For bait, pump along the foreshore for soft worms, while yabbies can be pumped near the pier on the banks at low tide.
