No marker, a small sign that says Artillery rocks, 20 minutes out of Lorne. Its like a balcony, you'll see it when driving upto it - road descends close to water level, you drive inland then a sharp left turn towards the 'balcony', pull over on the side of the road and walk down.. - night time can be harder to spot, drive slowly and you'll see it in the day time.. It will generally have other fisho's and it'll be the first populated rock after the Cumberland River Caravan Park..

Hi Guys,

What sort of rig set-up should I be doing to catch salmon in this location?

Do you fish two hours each side of the high tide?

What bait is best at this location?

Last time I was there I parked the car and looked over and could see them reeling them in so went down the stairs and had a closer look. Don’t know what the tide was at the time. The salmon were big and chunky. Bait used was pillies and chicken.
