G'day everyone,

Just thought I would let everyone know of my latest dive at Saint Kilda Pier.
I live very close to the pier and thought i would give the pier a shot and see what was lurking around. i went in with very low expectations, and boy was i disappointed hahaha.
The biggest problem with the pier was the visibility, i couldn't see the end of my gun! let alone any fish.... after swimming around for 10 mins i returned home after posing for a couple pictures with the tourists on the pier.
A bit of a waist of time but at least i know that i am not missing out on anything.

If anyone knows of any other spots around the Port Melbourne to Sandringham area let me know.
Thanks

There are heaps of spots all the way down to the border of the Beaumaris Marine Park ( Fourth St.)
Sandringham is going off at the moment with Bream, Snapper, Snook, Fathead and more.
Water is 19.5 degree with 8m vis! I have only seen it that clear once before.
I had a cracking dive their last Wednesday afternoon.

It is illegal to spear within 30 metres of any pier in this state.

Very well aware of this law Brett, and I kept my distance from the pier itself.
An interesting question would be is entering and exiting the water from the pier illegal even if you keep a distance when fishing?
