STOCK DEPLETION of Yellow Fin Whiting ~ A Summary of Conversations. . I have engaged in a few recent conversations with many longtime Yellow Fin Whiting fishermen since my previous post: “A Threatened Species” … https://www.facebook.com/groups/1383810555282311/posts/3589648064698538/ They are experienced, talented fishers, with well established records, detailed in their many fishing reports in past fishing forums. Stretching back well before the days of Facebook fishing groups. They have all been unanimous in their observations of a steep decline in YFW catches.

On my regular river walks, I would see successful Carp fishers in the spot indicated on my map. Mawsons Lakes is also well known to hold a lot of big Carp

How did you go? I haven't fished the Torrens for a few years, but I used to fish near the zoo and the uni. Some years there are heaps but not always. Heaps of carp everywhere in the Murray river at the moment. I usually go to Goolwa or Murray Bridge as they are close to Adelaide. Fresh is better. Stinky bait will work but not necessarily better and avoiding smell keeps the family happy as well as those fishing around you.

I tried roughly here. If you have the time going to the Murray river should yield a lot of card just bring an eski. Waikerie seems to have a lot of carp. I mean try a few places bring some bread. Throw some bread out and you’ll see them start to eat it.

I’ve caught a few carp here. You park there then just walk to the water. Magazine road dry creek. You could also park were the second photo is as it may be safer more cameras if your fishing at night etc just bring some mosquito repellent as lots about atm. I’ve never had any luck in the Torrens. I use bread. Also look up Alex fishing sa and you’ll learn some tips.
