 salmon fishing  Melbounre options

Gunnamatta Surf Beach is a known haven for two of Victoria’s most targeted surf species. Australian salmon and gummy sharks frequently visit the 18.5 km of surf coastline . Many deep gutters and rocky reef systems exist in the surf zone, providing cover for all sorts of fish. For predatory fish, these ‘ locations’ are areas in which they search for food because they attract baitfish or other potential meals. From an fishermens point of view it is these locations we need to look for to find  fish.
 where you park your car there are plenty of productive gutters for fishing. The car park at the Surf Life Saving Club give anglers quick and easy access to two productive gutters without having to walk too far... As you walk up over the sand dune a deep gutter to the left fishes well all season. Another gutter to the right also fishes well but is a little further to walk to. They are both deep and if fished after dark you’re a good chance of catching gummy shark......
 tide is is productive at Gunnamatta and iff this coincides with the evening your chances will increase.
How to get there  At Rye, take the Dundas Street turn off and follow to the end car park Melway reference 251 F4
Gunnamatta has been very consistent There. Salmon averaging around 1kg have been the mainstay for anglers,  there have been good reports of larger fish frequenting the area...
KILCUNDA
Kilcunda Beach is another very popular surf beach providing anglers with a good supply of salmon throughout the season. There are two beaches at Kilcunda. Kilcunda Beach itself is recognised by the old trestle bridge near the car park, while Cemetery Beach is a few metres further along behind the cemetery. Both are extremely productive and usually fish well together. Both beaches are  rocky to the right hand side with deep gutters throughout...
Kilcunda Beach has two major gutters to the left and to the right. The right hand gutter has quite a rocky bottom, which you may snag up on, but the fishing is good because of this structure.
Cemetery Beach has its deepest gutter to the left hand side as you stand at the top of the  path.
 These beaches, a high tide in either the evening or early morning is most productive. Anglers who fish a high tide during overcast conditions will also find success.
Follow the Bass Highway past the Phillip Island turn off at the roundabout at Anderson. About 3km past the roundabout is the Kilcunda Caravan Park, just past that on the left is the Kilcunda Beach Car . Cemetery Beach is located 100m past Kilcunda Melway reference 512 R11
 Most salmon have ranged between 500g and 1.5kg. Bluebait has been the most productive bait, but some larger fish have been taking to blue surf poppers fished on a paternoster rig.

Look for gutters along the stretch of beach at Cape Woolamai. At the Surf Club, the gutter to the left is deep and productive, or alternatively the first car park called Anzacs has two gutters. There is a rocky gutter to the right (which also produces King George whiting in the summer) and another one to the left that holds salmon, trevally and mullet in the winter months. Gummy sharks can be taken all along the beach.
