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: Fishers launching early in the morning are landing blue swimmer crabs and the occasional garfish, while avoiding the dreaded trumpeters. A bluey or two is also showing up from the jetty in the late afternoons.

Wallaroo: Squid, blue swimmer crabs and tommy ruff were caught from the windbreak section mid-jetty late in the week, while garfish returned to the rocks just north of Point Riley. Calm conditions saw boat crews head out to Bird Reef targeting squid and garfish, making use of the daylight lull as prawn boats anchored ahead of their night trawl.

Moonta Bay/Port Hughes: Squid turned up again at both jetties, though most were small and not worth chasing. A couple of calm days midweek allowed tinnies to head out in search of garfish, squid and King George whiting.

Port Victoria: This spot is producing good numbers of King George whiting, ranging from just legal size up to 39cm. Blue swimmer crabs, tommies, squid and garfish are also hitting baits from inshore drops to well offshore. A few tommies are turning up at the jetty after dark.

Point Turton: Garfish are active over the rocky bottom grounds south of Port Rickaby, north Hardwicke Bay, and across at Point Souttar and The Pines. Corny Point (Dunn Point) is producing King George whiting, red mullet and squid. Late-season mullet and a few tommies are still showing at Couch and Burners beaches during the high tides.

Stenhouse Bay/Marion Bay: Salmon to a kilogram are turning up at local beaches including Gleesons Landing, Browns and Shell when the winds swing easterly. Boat crews launching from Foul Bay and Marion Bay during clear conditions are reporting catches of whiting, flathead, snook and red nannygai when the weather allows.

Tight lines and see you next week!
