Welcome to the column with all the hot tips for fishing around Yorke Peninsula; contact Greg by email at greg@gregjamesfishing.com.au.

Wallaroo: Boat crews found schools of undersize King George whiting right throughout the bay and south of the jetty, with many fish in the 25cm-28cm range. A few gar and squid were the other main reports, while the jetty has tommy ruff (Australian herring) and squid after dusk.

Port Hughes/Moonta Bay: A few tommies and garfish were caught from crowded jetties, especially on the sunny afternoons that came late in the weekend. Boat crews fished the Steamer channel and Tipara Reef for whiting, blue swimmer crabs, squid and tommy ruff.

Balgowan: I went out with a local shack-owner here last week and caught some fat tommies and squid. Local drops also have KG whiting but they are timid and slow to take baits.

Point Turton: The tommy ruff run is also around Point Turton, Point Souttar and The Pines and they are generally of a good size. KG whiting are at The Banks but watch their size as many are under the 30cm range. Jetty-based anglers reported tommies and squid.

Marion Bay/Stenhouse Bay: A friend spent a few days at Marion Bay last week and caught red emperor, red nannygai and a couple of big kingfish. Shore-based fishers are catching fat mullet and a few salmon, while the jetties have been quiet.

Edithburgh/Stansbury: Those pesky snapper reported last week are still about; most crews are shifting their spot when the snapper move in as they fish for whiting, flathead and squid from Rocky Gully and Tapley Shoals. The jetties have squid, tommy ruff and salmon trout.

Ardrossan: Hopeful and expectant rakers still wade the flats from Pine Point to south of Mosquito Point seeking blueys in the late afternoons. Boat crews are catching gar, squid and a few just-legal KG whiting, while the jetty is worth a try for soapie mulloway, tommies and squid.

Tight lines and see you next week!
