Mt Martha Rocks /Mt Martha Victoria/ Mornington Pennisula
Along The Esplande in Mt Martha are several rock ledges that can be fished and it is here that some thumper squid can be caught just drive along the road and you will see cars parked along the beach side of the road.
There are dirt and rocky tracks that lead down to the water some are easy to access but others are slightly more difficult and require great care when climbing down to the waters edge.
boats also frequent this area in search of squid and unlike the peir produces thumpers some of which have hit the five kilo mark in recent years.
Hot summer afternoons seems to bring the big ones on in this area and baited jigs under a float is the way to go here , I have not had much luck in this area with lures either under float or spinning the baited jigs have always produced the goods for me in this area.
Garfish are to be found in huge numbers in this area in the summer as are whiting and leatherjackets.
