As you will find out by the time of reading, the pier is much the same. It was mainly renewing the old pier which was slowly rotting away. With both piers, i recommend timing your run with a high tide co-inciding with either dusk or dawn. As always you need to get in early to beat the crowds. Burley and scented jigs are a must in my view for success.
Port Arlington is a highly underrated as a squid spot as it is seen as the poor cousin of queenscliff. But with the right techniques and weather conditions, I find it fishes very well and quite often better than queenscliff. Admittedly the squid are not as big but I find that the reefs around that pier tend to hold the squid in place for longer.
