Recipe, honey and sriracha salmon. Ingredients: 4 pieces Atlantic salmon, honey, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, tomato and soy sauces, lime juice. Preparation: combine honey, sriracha, soy/tomato sauces and simmer for 2-3mins. Place fish on baking tray, cover with sauce and cook in preheated oven (200C) for 10mins. Serve with a glass in cool Zinfandel wine!
Wallaroo: Another ship was berthed at the deep end of the jetty over the weekend as anglers dropped by to wet a line and try their luck for a few blue swimmer crabs, tommy ruff (Australian herring) and squid. Small mullet are also schooling along the broken patches of weed closer to the shore. A neighbour launched his boat before daylight on Saturday for King George whiting, squid and blue crabs.
Port Hughes/Moonta Bay: Some big squid were caught on the drift south of Port Hughes, all the way towards Cape Elizabeth. The jetties have small squid and the odd bluey, while boat crews landed KG whiting and gar at West Light.
Point Turton: Some fat gar are in the shallow waters just north of Hardwicke Bay and around at The Pines and Point Souttar.
The jetty has been quiet but early season salmon trout should start their runs in coming days.
Marion Bay/Stenhouse Bay: Large squid are skulking around SB jetty and off the rocks in Marion Bay and Penguin Point. Offshore fishing has tuna, red nannygai, sweep and samson fish on the menu. Browns Beach has mullet and salmon trout.
Edithburgh/Stansbury: KG whiting reports have come from the grounds north of Troubridge Island, Marion Reef and Rocky Gully. Gar are off Port Giles and Stansbury with a few blueys and small squid. Local jetties have gar and tommy ruff.
Black Point/Ardrossan: KG whiting are back in action from Long Spit to the old artificial reef (Ardrossan), with gar and squid at Windara. Black Point grounds hold small whiting, garfish and tommies. Salmon trout are in the high tide shallows at Pine Point wharf, while the town jetty has blueys and squid.
Tight lines and see you next week!
