  5. Port Lincoln fishing report 06/11/2014

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Snook and Squid are continuing to be on the chew with many anglers fishing both from the shore and in boats reporting good catches. Best results have been found to be late afternoon and into the evening.

     

    Salmon up to 1kg and big fat Tommies are hanging around Boston, Proper and Louth Bay chasing assorted baitfish schools of blue bait, pilchards, and anchovies. Both land based anglers fishing and boaties are having success using similar size lures to what these fish are feeding on. Metal slugs like the Spanyid Raider are proving to be very effective, with afternoons seeming to be the best time. Look for the birds working close to shore to find the fish.

     

    Lots of undersize King George Whiting are being caught from within Proper Bay. Please make sure you check the size of your fish before keeping them.

    A whisper of a few Blue Crabs around Boston and proper Bay are also being reported by boaties.

  7. Port Lincoln fishing report 13/08/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Cold and windy has been the story for most of the week. This has kept most anglers indoors, so there hasn’t been much to report. This weekend looks like the wind will behave itself, and the temperatures may even climb up a bit, so get your gear ready and take advantage of some good fishing conditions while you can.

  8. Port Lincoln fishing report 12/02/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The main wharf has had good catch rates of slimy mackerel, chow, smaller salmon trout, and Tommy roughs. For best results anglers were using bait, however most of these species will attack most types of smaller lures.

     

    In deeper waters; good catches of decent sized nannagai are being caught from many locations offshore, along with the odd snapper and blue morwong.

     

    The town jetty and throughout Boston and Proper Bay is returning reasonable results for Blue Swimmer Crabs from anglers dropping nets.

  9. Port Lincoln fishing report 16/07/2015

    Teaser Paragraph:

    The weather over the past week had not been on an anglers side. Depending what you were targeting, high swell, rough winds, or average tides (and near freezing conditions) made fishing for most anglers very hard or impossible. The fishos who did manage to venture out during breaks through all this were quite successful in finding some good fish.

    Teaser Paragraph:

    A few Squid, snook and Garfish throughout local bays. King George Whiting are also being caught, however there are some smaller undersize fish having to be returned to the water. If you are chasing Whiting, you may have to deal with shittys and unwanted bycatch such as puffer fish if you use too much burley.

     

    Some decent size Blue Swimmer Crabs are starting to show up, however there are a lot that are undersize and a few females carrying eggs.

     

    Australian Salmon can be hit and miss around the Sleaford to Wanna coastline. Some anglers reported doing really well, especially casting metal lures towards schools, where as other anglers strangely didn’t manage to land any fish.
