ScaledUp 33 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hey Guys, heading to KI for a couple if weeks and staying a week at each end of the island. Can anyone suggest some "hot spots" land based? If anyone has had experience with a charter or renting a boat I'd love to hear from you on that one too! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Underpants 1,543 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Does depend on when, where you are staying, what style of fishing & intend targets? A few ideas: ScaledUp and Alexsfishin1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salmon should be back too. Defiantly be beach fishing Emu for mullet and have a go for a toothie of a night, depending on tides. Much of Flinder's Chase is inaccessible for fishing. Sandy Beach (walk in) and West Bay are excellent surf beaches for salmon. Hanson & Vivonne Bays . D'estrees Bay - Wreckers & Wheaton's beaches, a few of my faves. I'm unfamiliar with Peneshaw thru to Emu, mainly focused on Sth Coast salmon fishing. NFI re boating or charters. Would again depend on what you wanted to target: gar, kgw, snaps....nannies, kingies, tuna. Tuna will likely still be around and are not far offshore for the charter operators. KI looks small but there are a lot of kms between drinks. Focusing on a couple of things is not a bad idea unless general 'exploring'. Also it's not called 'kangaroo' island for nothing. There are plagues of 'roos & wallabies, i couldn't recommend driving of a night! Alexsfishin1 and Rod 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi ScaledUp For land-based, this guide put together by Shane Mensforth has some options (as well as boat): https://sealink-cms-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/File/pdf/KI Fishing Locations by Shane Mensforth.pdf For a great Charter, you can't go past Gavin Solly's operation (based out of Western River): http://kangarooislandadventures.com.au Cheers af Underpants, king george squid and Rod 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whatfor 37 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Fished KI a few years ago, jetties at penneshaw and kingscote were great , rock spots were dissapointing due to too many wrasse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScaledUp 33 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks - you blokes are legends! I'll post a report on my return!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexsfishin1 781 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 April would have to be my favourite time to go there, so you're on the money for some good fishing! Especially on the South Coast. If there are offshore winds, it would be worth having a suss at some of the main beaches down there, might come across a salmon school for endless exhausting fun. Good luck ScaledUp! Really looking forward to the report P.S. I remember years back, I asked the same questions on this forum.. If it weren't for the help of fellow S&H'ers my trips wouldn't have been as eventful as they were! Great people make a great forum.. piratepom, Underpants, gregtech and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScaledUp 33 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks Alex your videos and reports are a major part of the motivation to get there - I had already planned to check out those spots you showed. It's really pleasing to see a young bloke like you who's passionate about being outdoors and really enjoying the big wide world.
