  1. Port Lincoln fishing report 11/09/2014

    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.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Plenty of fishos took advantage of the great weather over the weekend and got out fishing. Either there weren’t many fish caught, or everyone is too shy to tell us what they caught and send us pictures.

  4. Port Lincoln fishing report 05/06/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Try the Thistle Island grounds for whiting and the odd bigger squid.Spalding cove & Taylors landing for whiting and squid, with best results during an incoming tide and with the use of berley. Local jettys for squid in good numbers during evenings and early mornings. Good quality jigs in smaller sizes are outperforming the cheaper jigs when the squid are fussy.

  5. Port Lincoln fishing report 19/02/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Offshore has seen the run of Bluefin Tuna continue. Most of the usual spots including South Neptune, the Cabbage Patch, Low Rocks, etc are all holding Tuna. Fish averaging 10 to 15Kgs and one weighing 43kg have been caught on a variety of lures, with Redhead minnows and small skirted lures with Purple in them being the most effective. Shimano Flatfall jigs continue to fool a variety of fish including Snapper, Nannygai and Sampson Fish. South Neptune and Wedge Island have also seen some Kingfish caught up to about 10Kg.

     

    In the local bays, King George Whiting continue to be elusive, but are there for those willing to put in the time and effort. Blue Swimmer Crabs are in good numbers. Make sure you have a crab measure before heading out. Crab measures are available from the PIRSA office at 5 Adelaide Place Monday to Friday.

     

    The local Jetties and Wharf are holding good numbers of Squid, Tommies, Salmon Trout and the odd Whiting and there are a few Slimy Mackerel around the Wharf.

     

    There have been quite a few varieties of fish caught in the Marina. Anything from Tommies to small Kingfish have been hooked, but a few lures have been lost in amongst the pylons, so be prepared to lose some tackle if you fish near the structure.

    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.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    At least the weather was great for part of the long weekend. Plenty of people got out fishing on the nice days, and by all reports, some great fish were caught. Lets hope that we get some more days like Sunday. Pictured we have Carolyn Hanrahan with a PB Australian Salmon. 81cm and 5.2 Kg. Excellent effort. Carolyn and partner Brad who are from Port Pirie came down for the weekend and fished Gunyah beach. They landed and released 40 fish between them. Excellent effort guys! A bit further from home is Neville Durdin with a 94cm Barramundi caught in an NT creek recently.

  15. Port Lincoln fishing report 09/10/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Summer whiting have started to move into the bays with reports of fish in Spalding Cove, Proper Bay and the North Shore/Sandhill’s area. Schools of salmon were not as prevalent over the long weekend but some nice fish came from Millers and the Salmon Hole. Bronze whaler sharks were spotted by anglers fishing the south coast between Sleaford and Wanna, and some big trevally were caught as well which is unusual.

     

    The north shore has had schools of pilchards during the afternoons with large amounts of birds working them, with tommies, salmon trout and trevally being the predominate species caught from these patches of fish. Lures returned the best results if the fish were close enough within casting range from shore.

     

    Boaties fishing deeper water around Thistle Island had success on king george whiting, whilst anglers fishing in closer waters around proper bay also found a good feed of whiting.

    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.

    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.

  24. 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.

  25. Port Lincoln fishing report 09/07/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Now that the wind has died down and most days are calm, plenty of anglers have headed out and most have caught quality fish no matter what species they have been chasing. The Australian Salmon fishing just keeps getting better, with fish consistently being caught in the 4 -5 kilogram range. Squid in all of the local bays are small, but plentiful for boaties and shore based anglers and while the King George Whiting have been difficult, they are still there for those willing to put in some effort. Remember that the Australian Salmon Championship is still running, so get an entry and hit the west coast beaches for a chance to land some big prizes.
