Welcome to the column with all the hot tips for fishing around Yorke Peninsula; contact Greg by email at greg@gregjamesfishing.com.au.
Port Broughton: Some really nice catches of squid have been reported after the summer holidays and Australia Day long weekend break, plus garfish, snook and blue crabs. Pan-sized snapper (which cannot be kept) chasing King George whiting baits are driving early morning boat crews mad at Plank Shoals. The jetty has a few squid and blueys.
Wallaroo: That windy weather finally dropped back for Sunday of last weekend and crews ran out for gar, squid and blue crabs. The jetty still enjoyed good numbers of fishers trying their luck at yellowfin whiting, gar, squid and blue crabs.
Moonta Bay/Port Hughes: Try both the jetties for late afternoon blue crabs, squid and garfish. Boat crews are reporting squid, gar, blue crabs and large snook from West Light and the Cape.
Port Victoria: Mulloway (also known as butterfish), squid and garfish are the main catches coming from Wardang Island and the grounds just south of Point Pearce. The jetty has a few blueys.
Point Turton: Fat gar were caught from Port Rickaby, north of Hardwicke Bay and Magazine Bay to The Pines last week. Small squid are at the jetty and yellowfin whiting can be found in the high tide shallows of those sandy beaches around Barker Rocks.
Marion Bay/Stenhouse Bay: Tuna to 20kg have started to run in the deep waters off Wedge Island and east towards Sturt Bay (but please observe marine parks sanctuary zones). Red nannygai and big snook are also off Marion Bay, while the jetties have a mix of tommy ruff (Australian herring) squid and snook. Browns Beach has mullet and sprat salmon trout.
Edithburgh/Stansbury: Large snook are off the jetties, Sultana Point and the Marion Reef, along with pesky brown leather jackets and squid. Gar, a few blueys and squid are off Port Giles, Klein Point, The Hut and the Limits Grounds out from Coobowie.
Black Point/Ardrossan: Garfish are in isolated schools from Black Point all the way to Ardrossan, with blue crabs still at Billy Goat Flat and along the blue line at James Well and Port Clinton. The jetty has squid and a few blue crabs.
Tight lines and see you next week!
