Would you be interested in joining a game fishing club to be known as the Port Lincoln Game Fishing Club?
Some of the aims of the Club would be to promote game fishing in our area; to arrange and co ordinate functions such as tournaments, BBQ's dinners etc, to place and install fish attraction devices to attract certain species closer to our fishing areas. Membership would be open to all who are interested in recreational fishing and cater for both land based and boat fishing.
If you are interested, please leave your contact details at either tackle store Spot On or the Gas Catch.

Now for what was biting and where

Elliston
The jetty had big tommies at night, squid and a few gar by day. Boaties are getting reasonable catches of whiting in Anxious Bay.

Lock's Well
Not many reports but a few salmon have been landed over the past week.

Sheringa
The First Beach had a few whiting and trevally while salmon were found off the other beaches.

Almonta/Gunyah Beach
Both beaches had salmon over the past week with fish from 4 to 11 pounds being caught on bait, plastics, poppers and metal lures.

Farm Beach
Plenty of whiting are still coming from this area with good fish coming from a variety of grounds including the Frenchman, Sir Isaac's and smaller fish along the Sandhill's. Around Longnose and the sticks boaties are getting sand crabs which have been full of meat.

Coffin Bay
Salmon trout are plentiful in the bay and a few wary garfish are around. Big kingfish were sighted and a few big breeders have been caught and released on live gar, live salmon trout, poppers and various other lures.

Port Lincoln
Spalding Cove and the Monument grounds have been popular for both squid and whiting; whiting can range from just undersize to those pushing 40cms. Besides the whiting, boats have been getting a few garfish and tommies south of the monument and also near Murray's point. Snapper have been in the bays but remember the weekend is your last chance before the snapper closure. (From 12 midday 1 November to 12 midday 30 November.

Tumby Bay
Trevally have shown up in the Marina, and Second Creek has trevally and a few salmon. Whiting were patchy in close but anglers moving around scored a feed. The jetty was very good for squid and a few gar have started showing up in the bay. Trumpeters and puffer fish are starting to move in as the water warms up.

Port Neill
South of the ramp there have been a few good size whiting. The jetty and breakwater is a good place to try for a feed of squid and tommies with a few snook being caught too. A few Yellow fin whiting are being caught along the local beaches and squid have been good for the boaties.

Port Lincoln Anglers Club
Memory Cove was the popular destination for members last Sunday and they caught good feeds of fish including whiting, flathead, tommies, salmon trout and a nice assortment of reef species.
