Port Lincoln

Not many breaks in the wind again this week. When it did back off, a few people got out amongst it. Here’s what was biting and where.

West Coast

It’s been tough going on the beaches with northerly and westerly winds blowing most of the week. Salmon to 3KG have been reported at Talia, Locks Well and Sheringa on Slingshot and Ridgeback lures.

King George Whiting, Tommies, Squid and Garfish have been reported in Venus and Streaky Bay. Fresh squid and prawns have been the best baits.

Coffin Bay

King George Whiting, Garfish, Tommies and Salmon Trout have been reported in shallow water around most of the bay and at Farm Beach. The local jetties around Coffin Bay have been fishing well around the high tide or early morning.

Almonta/Gunyah have been producing Salmon to 4Kg on metal lures like the Slingshot or Outcast and Salted Pilchard baits.

Port Lincoln

King George Whiting, Squid, Tommies, Mullet and Garfish have been caught around most of the bays when the tide is moving. Proper Bay, Boston Bay, Spalding Cove have all produced good bags of King George Whiting to 41cm on local prawn, tuna or fresh squid baits. Louth Bay has been producing Squid, King George Whiting to 38cm, Garfish to 40cm and some nice sized Tommys from the shore.

Sleaford to Wanna has seen some nice Salmon caught when the northerlies have been blowing. Salmon to 3KG have been caught on Metal lures and Salted Pilchards.

The offshore fishing has been very quiet, but when the swell drops, plenty of boats will be out chasing the barrel Tuna. Teasers, big reels and rods and big skirts are items that are necessary to stock up on for these 100KG+ fish.

 

Tumby Bay

King George Whiting, Squid and Garfish have been reported in the bay. The jetty has been excellent for some big squid early in the morning on YoZuri jigs.

Salmon Trout, Tommys and a few Silver Trevally have been caught on lures in the marina.

 

Port Neill

Whiting, Squid, Tommies and a few Snook have been caught landbased.
