Gotta agree with Highfly. A couple of hours before and after the low tide seems to be the best and Autumn was the season.Although it's been a few years, we fished along the edge of the channels and creeks around Torrens Island, always where a creek drained into the main channel or a smaller creek ran into a larger one.Night time was the most productive for us, with live baits the best. Small Trumpeters were great, along with Mullet and Salmon Trout. Fished them unweighted if possible, or with a sinker to keep them about mid water if the tide was strong.Our largest was 12kg's, with the majority around 4 - 8kg's. (Also caught quite a few undersize ones at times).The wrecks are also good at night, but bust offs are common.

Lower Yorke Peninsula. Kids love the whole fishing experience.

Thanks

Haven't had much luck with the large Winter fish in the Port River, but a few years ago, we used to do OK on the smaller fish in the creeks around Torrens and Garden Islands.Fished from a small boat around end of February into March. Near low tide, fishing in the channels and holes using small, live shitties as bait. Squid heads worked well too. Fished them about a metre and a half off the bottom with the "running sinker" type rig if the current was strong. Less weight if well up the creeks.Always fished at night. The weather was nice and warm, but you get eaten alive by mozzies...some are 6 inches between the eyes.Good luck.

"Cookie" at St, Kilda mentioned it.That was a while ago. True to form, I had forgotten about it until recently.Great site.

Yep, Brown's is a great spot.It's a pity about the rubbish left there at times though. After walking along that pristine beach, with the surrounding coastline, it's a bit of shock coming across dozens of empty bottles or piles of rubbish.Anyway, I wouldn't mind a couple of snapperhead's 10 pounders. They'd really go in the relatively calm waters of the lagoon. Good stuff.

...........I think you need to get out more. hahahaha... yeah i guess your right.ive been to every state cept nt and wa, but if im heading dow to adelaide way, thats normally where i stop.mostly fish whyalla and lincoln way.I guess if most of your fishing is done around Whyalla and Lincoln, there's no need to go anywhere else.

Thsnks all for the comments.Rocknev, it's just like finatic and Wayno said, Browns is right at the bottom of the Yorke Peninsula.Enter the Innes National Park at Stenhouse Bay and then follow the road through the park. The road ends at the Browns Beach carpark, which overlooks the beach.Cheers.

Thanks carps

Well, I just sold my DSLR camera and bought one of the so called "Super zoom" models. (Panasonic FZ28). Some would say a step backwards and, if talking picture quality, I would agree. The thing that caused me to switch back was convenience.With the FZ28 I've got 27mm - 486mm (35mm equivalent) range without buggering around with lenses. Picture quality is not bad either, as long as there is plenty of light. DSLR's are still way ahead in terms of low light performance and picture quality, but these types of cameras have a lot going for them, and they are cheaper than DSLR's. Smaller and lighter, they make excellent cameras for fishing and camping and you don't have to worry about getting dust on the sensor. Pictures are good quality too.So, just a thought. Maybe one of these cameras would suit you, rather than pawning one of the kids to pay for a DSLR and half a dozen lenses.

Thank you.

Thanks for that. It turned out to be an OK day in the end. Lots of Salmon holed up next to that inner reef. Good fun.

The weather missed us on this occasion. The fishing was great though. Damn these photo's. Wish I was there again.....
