Editor's verdict

An easy first fishing session with gear supplied. Register before heading to the pier, and watch for a weather update from Fishcare.

Fishcare Victoria's one-hour session covers fishing rules, sustainable techniques and safe handling, with rods, tackle and bait supplied. It is at Mornington Pier, Schnapper Point Drive, on Friday 16 October from 10:45 to 11:45am. The organiser describes it as free and open to all ages and skill levels, but registration is essential because places are limited.

This is an outdoor session. Fishcare says unsafe weather or other conditions may lead to cancellation and that registrants will receive updates by email or SMS. Check the booking page for current places and any change before travelling. Paid parking is available nearby. The organiser mentions accessible public toilets nearby, but does not describe access to every part of the fishing area; contact Fishcare if you need specific access arrangements.
