A fairly easy and fairly safe Rock Platform down that way is the spit of rock that juts out between YCW Beach and Smiths Beach on Phillip Island, head down the road to YCW Beach and walk down, its fairly quiet, and your normally past the Surfers. I've picked up Trevally, Leatherjackets and Sambos from there, a mates told me he's got pinkies b4, but I've never got one personally from it. Run out tide is Best, as at full hi tide you'll be walking through waist deep water to get back.

You might want to see if you can tag along with CarlG or Fish-Cader theya re regular @ Gunnamatta. THese are more safer option than rock fishing.
You wouldn`t be saying that if you`d seen some of the dingbats I`ve seen down there...there was a bloke there at the weekend...holy jesus...he was wading out waist deep and jumping the waves just to cast...I saw him get smashed twice...what a frigging tit-**nk..

Not even need to travel that far; punchbowl, Kilcunda and Mt Martha rocks. There are a few locations in Mornington areas as well and they are all reasonably safe allowing you to fish on steady rocky ground; yes you can catch pinkies, snapper and leather jacket there when they are around. Google map is your friend my mate!

I know of a few safe spots with good fish. Depends on what you wanna catch though??
