Thanks for the detailed reply ss, I will seriously consider Queenscliff/St Leonards tomorrow night.
About the east side of the bay, I fish for squid in a small boat in shallow water quite a lot, and the numbers of squid are great, but the size is usually 15-20cm hoods or less. Brilliant snapper baits, but it's a lot of work to clean small squid for not a whole lot of tucker. I'm not sure how well you'd do with baited jigs right now, I've been having big problems with sea lice while fishing for salmon at Frankston pier with whitebait - they convert a whole whitebait to a perfect skeleton in about 5 minutes - it's impressive, but annoying! I think sea lice are worst when the moon is full.
