The water

Planning a session at Marlo Jetty? This jetty is in Gippsland Coast, Victoria. Start by looking at the water close to your fishing position, then choose a species and a simple way to target it.

Structure

The chart depth near the usual casting position is about 2 metres below chart datum, the reference level on a marine chart. The tide changes the actual depth during your session.

Marlo Jetty faces south. Sheltered from north-east and east winds. Some shelter from north and north-west winds. Open to south-east, south, south-west and west winds.

Target species

Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri). Let a worm bait drift naturally on a running sinker. In current, try prawns and use enough weight to control the presentation.

Australian Salmon (Arripis trutta). Try a slowly retrieved soft plastic from structure when conditions are calm. For surf fishing, a metal slice lets you cover a gutter.

Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus). Try whole or halved fresh squid, then adjust your rig to the water movement. A running sinker allows the bait to sweep with current.

Flathead (Platycephalus spp.). Cast a soft plastic over sand and bring it back in short hops. Keep contact with the bottom rather than retrieving high above it.

How to fish it

In shallow water, give your bait or lure enough room to work without dragging it through the bottom. A gentle cast and a controlled retrieve are useful starting points. Adjust as you see how the water moves, rather than adding weight automatically.

Share the jetty with other users and keep the walkway clear. Check for boats before casting, and choose a landing position you can reach safely.

Before visiting Marlo Jetty, compare the tide with the wind and swell. Air pressure, moon and water temperature add context to your session. Catchability and fishability appear as coloured bands, but neither tells you that a place is safe to fish.
