It looks like winter has arrived! The good news is that the wind has finally slowed down and we should be in for some calm days out on the water. There are still some good fishing options out there, so put on some thermals and go fishing.
Now for what was biting and where.
Elliston / Sheringa
Salmon from 1 to 3kg were caught from the surf along with very big tommies and salmon trout. Whiting were off First Beach.
Almonta / Gunyah Beach
Salmon around 2 – 3 kilograms are being caught on both metal lures and pilchard baits along the beaches. Best results tend to be coming from anglers fishing early morning or fishing the incoming tide.
Farm Beach
King George Whiting around 32 to 36cm are being caught by boaties fishing both in close and further off shore.
Squid and Garfish were also popular catches by boaties.
Coffin Bay
Salmon trout and small Silver Trevally are being caught throughout the bay at all times of the day, biting on just about any bait presented to them.
King George Whiting around 30- 38cm are being caught predominately by boaties, however a few reports of good plump fish did come from land based fishos within the area.
Offshore Snapper and Nannygai continue to provide boaties with consistent catches with all methods working.
Port Lincoln
The town jetty is returning good catches of Tommies and Squid, and is seeing some decent catches of Yellowfin Whiting as well as along the foreshore.
At the main wharf Australian Salmon from trout size up to 1.5 kilograms are being caught during times of pilchard boats unloading. Good catches of Tommies can also be caught.
Try the National Park for Australian Salmon up to 3 kilograms, especially from the Sleaford to Wanna coastline.
King George Whiting around 32-40cm have been caught in Proper Bay. Blue Swimmer Crabs have all but gone now.
Try the North Shore for King George Whiting, good numbers of Squid, and Garfish.
Tumby Bay
The town jetty had Tommies, Garfish, and Squid. A few mullet are being caught from the foreshore and jetty.
Port Neill
The jetty has some good size Squid and Tommies, and the odd Garfish.
Some Yellowfin Whiting and Mullet are being caught from the beaches.
Arno Bay
No reports received.
Cowell
No reports received.
Port Lincoln Anglers Club
11 members fished the final event of the light line competition on 26th April.
This was an open event with most members fishing locally.
Fish were hard to find despite the weather being favourable.
The days results will not be released as the final championship points for the light line event is very close.
These results will be made known at the annual presentation night later this year.
The heaviest fish of the day was a 320 gm Leatherjacket caught by Damien Paterson on 2 kg line class.
The mystery weight fish was a 110 gm Trout caught by Kerry Paterson on 2 kg line class.
Next outing will be on Sunday May 17th in the Tumby Bay area. Leaving the clubrooms at 8AM sharp.
