  2. Port Lincoln fishing report 08/01/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Tuna – Low Rocks, Cabbage Patch, Thistle, Williams Island, just to name a few of the spots where they have been reported. Deep diving lures such as the Rapala XRAP and smaller skirts trolled a long way behind the boat seem to be the most effective methods so far. Colour does not seem to be a factor so far, but keep the lures on the smaller size, as the Tuna are mostly small.

     

    Local jetties have been good for squid all day round and into the evening. Tommies and Gar are being caught if burley is presented. Best results tend to be early in the morning or mid to late afternoon. Snook have been a little on the quieter side with a few being caught when smaller prey is in the area.

     

    Don’t go too hard on the burley as unwanted by-catch such as Puffer fish, small Leatherjackets, and Trumpeters are also attracted and quiet often take your bait rather than your target species. Some smaller Stingrays have been loitering around local jettys and bays, so just be wary if you are not targeting them. They are bottom feeders and can take Whiting and general purpose rigs or baits.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Sleaford to Wanna has seen Salmon up to 4kg. Most have been around the 2kg mark when the swell allows you to fish.

     

    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.

  6. Port Lincoln fishing report 14/11/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The North Shields jetty has had schools of legal silver trevally. Try the main wharf for bigger squid, snook, whiting, salmon up to 1kg, and big tommies. Both Boston bay and Proper bay had reports of blue swimmer crabs, by both land based and boat anglers. Make sure to always check the size as a lot of undersize crabs are being landed in pots. Further along the coast reports have come in from anglers fishing Point Drummond up to convention beach with salmon being around the 2-3kg mark as well as some big tommies from the surf. A few whiting were found at Thistle and Taylors Island. Proper Bay, Spalding Cove and the North Shore were best for whiting at dawn or dusk. Late afternoon is still good for salmon and tommies along the North Shore. Small squid are still reliable of the jetties and in the bays.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Anglers have been reporting decent catches of big garfish, King George Whiting, squid, snook, tommies and Salmon trout from the town jetty.

     

    The main wharf had plenty of tommies, most being on the smaller side, with a few larger fish during the night. Salmon trout, and salmon around 1 kg have been caught while pilchard boats unload, biting on pilchards (obviously) and any bait fish lure. Shore based anglers scored lots of garfish in local bays. Yellowfin whiting were still on the slow side from the beaches. Proper Bay was a bit slow for kg whiting, but gar, squid, salmon, tommies and red mullet were on the chew.

     

    Mixed size salmon were hit or miss along the south coast, Millers Hole had some around 3 to 4kg.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Proper bay has started to see some king George whiting appear along with plenty of squid. Most of the Islands in the Passage have had good numbers of whiting caught over broken ground and the Nannygai, Snapper and Blue Morwong have continued to keep anglers busy over the deep water reefs.

     

    The local jetties and wharf have been quiet, but a good feed of squid is still possible with quality jigs if you fish early or late.

  13. Port Lincoln fishing report 18/12/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Local bays are seeing good numbers of Blue Swimmer Crabs, with best results being returned during night sessions. Try Salmon, Tommies and Freeze Dried Squid are proving effective baits for the Crabs.

    Southern Bluefin Tuna are caught being out wide. Pick your days carefully with this windy weather though.

     

    Local jettys are showing up a few nice sized Garfish in shallow waters and some excellent size Squid, Silver Trevally are proving great tasty sport for many anglers fishing local bays whether targeting them or not.

     

    Anglers are finding that if they are using burley for a certain species, they will be accompanied by Trevally. These fish are excellent fun on light gear.

  14. Port lincoln Fishing Report 08/05/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Squid are coming from the town jetty in good numbers, along with the odd King George whiting whilst the tide was increasing. Also seen cruising around the jetty and foreshore has been some decent size kingies. Snook can still be caught around the town, more so towards the evening. Yellowfin whiting catches for the foreshore area are considered reasonable with good fish being landed, however many undersize King George whiting are being caught in the same areas. South coast anglers are reporting schools of salmon around the 3kg mark taking lures, after using burley to attract the school within casting distance.

    Garfish are being caught throughout local bays, however keep an eye on their size as reports indicate size can vary from smaller ‘pencils’ through to bigger fat fish. Yellowfin whiting are being sighted by anglers near the North Shields jetty, along with some smaller squid during calmer conditions.

     

    Whiting, trevally and tommies came from Thistle Island and Taylors Landing grounds.

  16. Port Lincoln fishing report 12/12/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Try the main wharf for the odd King George Whiting, and good numbers of Squid early in the morning or on the high tide. Fisheries Beach has been productive with some Silver Trevally, and Salmon Trout. Local jetties have been good for Squid, Tommies, and Garfish in amongst the trumpeter’s during the high afternoon tide. Murrays point has plenty of Tommies. Salmon schools are still continuing to provide anglers some great fun throughout Boston bay and surrounding bays, feeding on Anchovies. The Salmon are not only restricted to boaties, with plenty of land based anglers being successful casting lures throughout the working schools.

     

    Birds working the area are a giveaway that the salmon are in the area. Blue Swimmer Crabs are also picking up in numbers, size and weight.

  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 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.

  21. 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.

    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. Try Proper bay for King George whiting and some good sized squid. Berley is a must when you locate some fish.

     

    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.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Salmon up to 2kg were caught on lures in the bays from the North Shore, Fisherman’s point, Cape Colbert, Cape Donnington and September Beach. The Sleaford to Wanna coastline had salmon from 3 to 5kg pushed in close at times by seals and bronze whalers making for exciting lure fishing.

     

    Snook are being spotted on local jetties from sunset well into the evening; however anglers are having trouble hooking them on lures with best luck on fresh baits. Whiting news was still quiet however some land based fishos scored some up to 40cm around Pt Lincoln. King George were also caught at Thistle Island, Taylors, and Carcass Rock. Big Yellowfin whiting were going well along the Foreshore but have slowed down. Squid are still reliable in the bays both for the boat and land based anglers.
