Port Lincoln

The water temperature has risen and we’ve had some very nice days over the last week. Plenty of fishos got out and about. Here’s what was biting and where.

 

West Coast

There have been a few reports from the Dog Fence and Yalata. Most have been about plenty of small Mulloway, lots of Rays and Salmon and a few Gummys.

Venus, Streaky and Bairds Bays have all been good for King George Whiting, Garfish, Tommys, Salmon Trout and a few Flounder.

Most of the surf beaches have been producing Salmon to 3KG. Locks Well and Talia have been good on most days. Metal lures like the Malosi Marksman have been working very well on these Salmon.

 

Coffin Bay

King George Whiting continue to be caught right throughout the bay and out from Farm Beach. Fresh squid or Goolwa Cockle baits have been working well, but so have the new Spot On Whiting Jigs.

Around the rest of the bay there are plenty of Garfish, Tommys, Snook, Flathead, Gummy Sharks and Eagle Rays. If fishing for Sharks and Eagle Rays, please be aware of the new rules relating to Shark and Rays. We have some brochures available in store or go to the PIRSA website.

Offshore from Coffins has been good when the wind has dropped off. There have been plenty of reports of Tuna between 5 and 15Kg, Nannygai, Blue Morwong, Samsonfish, Kingfish and a few Gummy Sharks.

 

Port Lincoln

Fishing around the jetties, rocks and bays has been excellent despite the slow tides. Garfish to 45cm, Snook to 80cm, King George Whiting to 45cm and some oversized Tommys have been caught. Louth, Bolinbroke, Spalding and the monument have been good areas for King George Whiting. Local Prawns, fresh squid or the new Spot On Whiting Jigs have accounted for plenty of Whiting in 2-6 meters of water.

Fishing in the passage has been good for King George Whiting, a few Nannygai and at least one Queen Snapper that was close to a meter long.

Tuna are around in big numbers at Low Rocks and the Cabbage Patch. Offshore there are also a few nice Samsonfish, Nannygai and Gummy Sharks being caught.

Sleaford to Wanna has produced a few Salmon to 3Kg on Malosi Marksman metal lures.

 

Tumby Bay

King George Whiting, Snook, Garfish, and Salmon have all been caught around most Island at the Group. Goolwa Cockles and fresh local squid have accounted for most of the bigger Whiting.

The Tumby jetty has fished well for Tommys, Garfish and Squid late in the afternoon.

 

Port Neill

King George Whiting, Squid and plenty of Garfish have been caught by boaties and off the Jetty.
