Webb Dock is a major shipping facility and container port located in Port Melbourne along Fisherman Bend, overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Initially built in 1960, the dock has undergone significant redevelopment but retains accessible fishing opportunities along its rock walls and jetties. The area is characterized by deep waters suitable for large vessels, including the Spirit of Tasmania and naval ships, and offers an urban fishing experience close to Melbourne's CBD. It's a popular spot for land-based anglers seeking a variety of saltwater species throughout the year, with a particular reputation for seasonal Snapper runs. The location combines industrial scenery with recreational walking and cycling paths along the bay.
