We went on search for the australian salmon yesterday too, had a mate from tumby bay come across to locks well for an early morning fish which turned into lunch time.3 of us fishing got only 4 salmon each with the biggest going about 2kg or 63cm on the brag matmaybe the mystery length!After reports of schools of salmon there all weekend thought we might be lucky enough to have one or two in close while we were there, but they were always way out of casting distance but there was alot of fish in the out there.Lures seemed to be the go yesterday! Loving the red and white raiders!Lines tight!

Being an SA based site I"d be forgeting the Barra, Black Jew ect personally save that for i Fish ..Modern fishing mag ect.But SA based...25lb Snap,50lb mully, 50cm KG,3lb reddy,4lb Trout,6lb Callop,70lb Cod, 12lb Salmon,6lb trevally,6lb Flatty,45cm+ bream,60lb King, just to have a few examples.Anyone who has a pic slideshow containing that little lot could be well pleased,but thats all bragging material,exclusive clubs and all that,means sfa.An old guy riding a pushbike who consistently outsmarts and catches xos Bream off the Port Adelaide rocks with a handline gets just as much if not more respect as some cashed up dude ,with the latest 4x4 who pulls a 70lb mully from a gutter over the west coast,its all relative imoCheers

I wish. From the days before phones had cameras!

Hi Buddyany tragedy of that magnitude would certinly take the shine off but many thanks for that wonderful report, certinly sounds like you had a ball.once again thanks and take care

Well fishing in venus was pretty mellow over the weekend due to the tragedy that happened but still got out on the boat sunday afternoon.My goodness there is HEAPS of trevally in the bay! Got about 40 on the boat within an hour but as soon as you got to the bottom the KG's where around.Moved spots after having heaps of fun on the trev's gees they put up a good fight on light gear and fairly decent size too. Yummy smoked fish for tea last night.Headed out to the bay across from the entrance. The swell had dropped HEAPS but the current has still racing and snuck into the corner in about 4 foot of water and got some donkey whiting. no need to measure but caught one that looked way smaller than the rest and it was 35cm! 5 squid to top the day off and on the way home trolled passed the reef and pulled in a couple of 2kg + salmonPlenty of tinnies getting around there at the moment and all getting a feed of whiting but not to many bagging out.The jetty has a good supply of trevally and tommies if you can get through the shitties plus the odd big snook sniffing around too!oh and also reports of tuna busting up out to sea. I don't know where but saw the tuna and the 6 they kept woulda weighed between 15-20kglines tight!

Got to say I've always been a fan of S.A Angler. I have been reading Shane's magazine for a long time and also as our shops are customers we have regular dealings with him. He's a top bloke and always happy to stop for a chat about whatever.That being said, Wildcoast is also a great mag. I love the brag board. I went to Tafe with Shane Murton back before Wildcoast existed and all we used to do was talk about fishing then as well so it's not really a surprise that he moved on to this.

BRING ON FRIDAY!!Will be in Venus all over the easter break hopefully catching all the species of fish it has too offer!Can't bloody wait and off the jetty!

Howdy Mancini,Inside the bay at venus is a big sand bar that is out of the water at low tide but at high tide place some crab nets out there for some nice sand crabs. You need a few of them for a feed but they are oh so good!The only other things to worry out in the bay is the reef. which is clearly marked and stands out like dogs balls so you don't hit it.If head out the entrance it can get a bit hairy getting out if the swells up but once out the back shouldn't be too bad. Just watch out for the swell. Not to sure if there is many tuna running this way at the moment but always worth a troll.The main catches out the back are snapper and nannigai. Only been out there a couple of time so don't really know many spots.But inside the bay numerous amounts of KG whiting, tommies, trevally, salmon trout, snook, flathead and squid.I really love venus bay so peaceful and relaxing.If you want some more advice ask at the general store, caravan park or head over to thr port kenny pub and try and meet some locals.Hope you ebjoy your stayLines tightDyl

Howdy Mate,With the amount of pilchards I can get I've got plenty supply for burley which i freeze into about 1/4 full garbage bags and place them into an onion bag and let it wash in the surf which seems to work a treat!But trying o save some $$$ and make the pilchards worth while for bait.Going to try both methods to get my stock up for the up and coming fishing comp!Lines tight!
