Port Broughton: Commercial fishers have netted large numbers of King George whiting  in northern Spencer Gulf, between Broughton and Port Pirie. Many schools have fled north to escape the algal bloom, raising concerns that overfishing could threaten the species. Local crews reported catching small numbers of whiting, snook and flathead from the shallows midweek.

Wallaroo: Shore-based fishers caught King George whiting and salmon trout off the rocks at Point Riley (Shag Rock) late in the week. Squid were taken from the jetty after dark. Cool north-easterly winds drifted across the bay as boat anglers tried for garfish, whiting and squid.

Moonta Bay/Port Hughes: Boat crews launched in search of whiting, squid, garfish and snook, but catches were poor despite good tides. Both jetties remained quiet during the week.

Port Victoria/Point Turton: KG whiting remain the main catch, with this side of the gulf so far unaffected by the algal bloom. Garfish are being taken off Port Rickaby and Point Souttar, while shore-based anglers are landing mullet and salmon trout.

Stenhouse Bay/Marion Bay: Large swells and poor ramp conditions challenged boat crews heading offshore for red nannygai, kingfish and morwong, and inshore for KG whiting, flathead and snook.

Tight lines and see you next week!
