No matter what hour of the day or time of the year, there is always someone dangling a line off St Kilda Pier. Many enthusiasts use long poles to try for mullet and bay trout, and these fish are often plentiful throughout the winter. Big flat-head inhabit the shallows in summer, while bream are active in the areas near the pylons. Trevally and garfish appear from occasionally when anglers use the right bait, but better pickings are to be found further south around the bay. During a south-westerly wind, some good snapper are taken from the break wall after dark.
