There are quite a few suggestions for places to spear, both close to Melbourne and further afield, in some older threads in this forum. I have always found that the further you are willing to drive, the more quality fish you will see, but of course it's a pain to drive 3 hours each way just for a few hours in the water.
Kako, I have heard some good reports about spearing at Flinders, however it's best when the water is clear (ie/ give it a miss this week!). I'd be heading far to the right of the pier, entering the water near the rocks, and trying to dive a low tide.
If you don't mind swimming over sand, you're always a chance for flathead and flounder early in the morning at most of the beaches close to Melbourne. But swimming over sand is boring compared to, for example, swimming over reef at Mornington or Mt Eliza.
Good luck
