Pictured is Toby Harris who is 5 years old. Toby went out on a boat fishing for the first time ever and managed to land this 41cm whiting. Very nice for a first ever fish. Also, National Parks have informed us that the tracks to Millers and Salmon holes have been reopened.
Now for what was biting and where
Elliston / Sheringa
Talia and Mount Camel beaches had salmon between 2 and 4 kilograms, mullet and some nice size trevally up to 40cm.
Try the Jetty for tommies, garfish and squid. Anxious Bay has seen some nice king george whiting and walker rocks has had reports of a few nice flathead.
Sheringa has reported king george whiting, tommies and mullet from first beach.
Almonta / Gunyah Beach
Australian Salmon averaging 2-4 kilograms are being caught along the beach, with best results returned to anglers using metal lures.
Farm Beach
Whiting are being caught by boaties, but the legal sized ones are still tending to be in deeper water.
Some boaties are returning to shore with some Nannygai
Coffin Bay
Offshore there has been nannygai and snapper with small tuna reported at Rocky and Greenly Islands. Silver Trevally
Whiting averaging just over and under the legal size limit
Port Lincoln
Nannygai are being caught in good numbers, along with the odd Snapper and Blue Morwong throughout the passage and lumps beyond. Reports of small Tuna averaging 7kg have come in from South Neptune Island and surrounding areas. Lots of boats fished between Point Boston and Point Bolingbroke on the weekend with mixed results on whiting, most squid caught were on the small side. Sleaford to Wanna had 2 to 4 kg salmon and sharks were sighted near Lone Pine due to the dead Minke whale that has washed up on the beach.
Tumby Bay
The Group has been very hit and miss for king george whiting. Mussel berley helps keep the fish in the area and on the bite when you do find them. Some very nice garfish have been reported in the bay and some nice squid from the jetty have kept local anglers busy.
Port Neill
Big squid have been reported along with plenty of tommies. Try the northern grounds for a few king george whiting to 35cm.
Arno Bay
King george whiting have been very patchy, but good numbers of squid have been caught from the jetty. Not too many reports of snapper yet, but they should pick up over the next few weeks.
