Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:8 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings classic spring action to Barwon Heads with rising water temps and cleaner windows between fronts. In the surf, schools of Australian salmon are pushing along Ocean Grove beaches—watch for birds and whitewater; metal slugs and pilchard baits are doing damage. Inside the estuary, bream and trevally are active on the run-in tide, especially around structure; slow-rolled soft plastics and prawn baits work well.

On the inshore reefs, King George whiting and southern calamari are reliable when the swell eases and the water clears. Small squid jigs in natural patterns and pipi/squid strips for whiting are the go. Along the sand holes and channel edges, flathead are spreading out; 2.5–4 inch paddle-tail plastics hopped near the bottom are producing.

Early and late sessions around tide changes are best, with light southerly or westerly winds favoring clearer water. Snapper reports are building on the outer edges with fresh squid or pilchard, particularly after a barometric rise. Night anglers are also finding the odd gummy shark on fresh strip baits.

Top tip: Carry both bright and natural lures—switch to brighter profiles after a blow or in milky water, and go natural when the estuary or inshore reefs clear to keep bites coming.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Barwon Heads area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 3 wharf(s) in this area.

Swan Bay Jetty - 14.5387321968km , Pilot Jetty - 15.19262980909km , Stony Jetty - 17.66648883455km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 13 beaches and bays in this area.
