  1. Port Lincoln fishing report 30/10/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Squid continue to be a good option for the land based fisho. For the boaties, there have been plenty of options including Salmon to 2Kg, Snook, Trevally, Tommies and bigger squid. Most people that have caught King George Whiting have reported that they need to move around a bit as most drops seem to produce 1 or 2 fish only. Mussel berley has proven to bring the fish on the bite.

     

    Along the surf beaches, schools of Salmon have been seen between Sleaford and Wanna. Some of the schools have been huge, and if you are lucky enough to encounter them within casting range, almost any type of lure is successful.

     

    Around these schools of Salmon, there are plenty of sharks, mostly Bronze Whalers, so be careful, but they are a good option for heavier gear with a couple around 7 foot caught and released.

    There have also been a few reports of Blue Swimmer Crabs around, but keep it quiet……….

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Squid are still going well from the jetties and shoreline. Smaller quality jigs are still the go here. There are still lots of Tommies around the town jetty. Prawns seem to be the favoured bait.

    A few just legal snapper have been reported between Louth and Peak Bay in-between undersize fish. King George whiting are picking up with the big tides on the winter bottom.

  5. Port Lincoln fishing report 29/01/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    When the weather permits, Garfish are being caught in local bays and around the boat ramps. Gar have been a bit finicky at times with many anglers reporting great numbers of fish, however were not biting at all times. Some anglers believe that they used too much burley giving the fish a feed rather than just attracting them.

     

    Proper bay has seen some big Blue Swimmer Crabs, some up to 80cm across the claws. King George Whiting have been hard to find, but of a good size. Silver Trevally up to 40cm have also been reported and are great fun on Whiting gear.

    Local Jettys have seen some big Tommies & Garfish through the day and into the night. Blue Swimmer Crabs have been good, but there are a lot of small ones about, so make sure you check your catch before putting it in the bag. There have been a few boats heading out wide targeting an early run of small Bluefin Tuna. These fish fish are around the 8Kg mark and have been caught on all sorts of lures, jigs and large Soft Plastics.

  13. Port Lincoln fishing report 25/09/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The town jetty and wharf is continuing to produce smaller squid at all times of the day. Squid were also around Louth Bay, North Shields and Spalding Cove. Tommies and salmon trout are also being caught on baits and lures, however better catch results occur when burley is being used. The Sleaford to Wanna stretch of coast had numerous schools of 1 to 4kg salmon. Finding them within casting range can be tricky but when the sharks, seals or dolphins push them in close some brilliant lure fishing can be the result. We haven’t had any reports of whiting in the bays but Spalding Cove on dusk would be worth a try. Whiting have been reported between Carcass Rock and Taylors Landing, the Lumps and Thistle Island. The Passage had some nanny’s and the occasional Samson fish.

A few Whales have been sighted along this stretch of coast as well. Try the wharf for Salmon Trout, mullet and Squid.

  16. Port Lincoln fishing report 23/10/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Some good sized squid and King George Whiting are being caught in the local bays by boaties. Some visitors managed whiting around 35cm in front of the P.L Tourist Park. The Jetties and rocks are still a good bet to get a good feed of squid. Snook and Garfish have been reported all over when the wind has died off.

     

    The passage and surrounding areas have been OK for Nannygai, Morwong and a few Snapper have started to appear. Sleaford to Wanna has seen some good schools of Salmon to 4Kg. Especially the Wanna end.

    Metal lures and Bigger Soft Plastics have been effective. Billy Lights Point had salmon and squid. Schools of frogmouth pilchards have been in close to shore anywhere from the town foreshore, North Shields and Louth Bay with mostly tommies and a few salmon chasing them.

  17. Port Lincoln fishing report 23/07/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The North Shore has had anglers chasing a variety of species over this past week, from both land and boat. King George Whiting has been a popular target, along with squid for boaties, with most anglers finding decent numbers.

     

    Yellowfin Whiting had been a target for land based anglers with mixed reports. Some anglers found decent sized fish, however consistent numbers was not common.

     

    A few anglers also targeted Garfish along this stretch of coast, with both land based and boaties doing well during calmer weather, or early in the morning.

     

    Boaties venturing offshore have had success chasing Nannygai, and Blue Morwong from lumps based off of Port Lincoln and throughout the passage.

     

    Reports are still coming through of Salmon being caught throughout the surf coast of the Lincoln National park. Some decent schools had been spotted by anglers with fish being close enough to shore to cast a metal lure at, giving anglers consistent action on 2 to 4kg fish.

     

    The town jetty has some decent Squid and Tommies throughout early morning and late afternoon sessions.

     

    Try the main Wharf for some smaller Salmon Trout, and decent sized Tommies.

  18. Port Lincoln fishing report 23/01/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The main wharf has had plenty of Tommies and Salmon Trout, biting on baits and lures especially if burley was being used. Just remember to be aware of the difference between Australian Herring (Tommy Rough) and Australian Salmon, as many salmon are having to be measured. The odd smaller Yellowtail Kingfish are also being spotted from the wharf, with some anglers having success hooking them using fresh baits. Slimy Mackerel and Chow are also being reported in the area. Tuna sizes seem to vary considerably with some around Low Rocks measuring between 2 and 28kg. Tuna were also found behind Hopkins, Thistle, Williams and Neptune Islands and the Cabbage Patch. Small skirted lures are working well for the smaller tuna and colour doesn’t seem to matter on most days. Nannygai and Snapper are also being caught by jigging and bottom bouncing baits.

  19. Port Lincoln fishing report 22/05/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The town jetty has seen a good run of squid of varying sizes. Smaller jigs in sizes 2.5 – 3 are the go here. The yellowfin have also started to turn up with a good school hanging around the jetty on most days. Garfish were well spread out during the calm weather. King George whiting have been hit and miss locally, with some anglers really struggling and others bagging out easily. Move around a bit and use some burley when you find them. Squid from small to very large have come from local regions. Spalding cove is producing King George whiting and the occasional flathead. Between Stenross boat ramp and North Shields boaties and land based anglers found gar, squid, snook, tommies and Yellowfin and King George whiting.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    This week's Port Lincoln fishing report thanks to Spot On Fishing and Outdoors - Port Lincoln.

     

    It seems that the cold weather has settled in and the only fish that anglers are willing to brave the weather for are Whiting. Luckily, the Whiting fishing has been good over the last few weeks for both boat and land based anglers.

     

    Don’t put your boats away just yet, we should be seeing some calm weather in the next few weeks and some good tides as well, which makes for some good fishing if you rug up with a warm tea or coffee and a good jacket and beanie.

    Big Garfish and Tommies from the Jettys, along with some squid during the day and into the night.

    There are still plenty of Salmon trout and Tommies working the baitfish schools in the afternoons, just look for the birds working close to shore.

  24. Port Lincoln fishing report 20/06/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    A few tuna around 5 to 7 kg have been caught between Low Rocks, Williams, and North Neptune Island. Squid continue to be a popular target with plenty of anglers getting a good feed. Small good quality jigs continue to be the best option, but at times, they will grab anything. Both Yellowfin and King George Whiting have been slow, but consistent. Prawns seem to be the best option at the moment. There are still Tommy Rough, Salmon Trout, Snook and Garfish around local Jetties keeping the keen anglers busy.
