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

Wallaroo: A few big squid have been caught from the jetty here and the rocks at Point Riley, but not in large numbers. Prawn trawlers had come and gone before those long weekend storms cracked in with the huge tides. Boat crews will be targeting King George whiting and squid when the weather permits.

Moonta Bay/Port Hughes: KG whiting are down at Cape Elizabeth and the Steamer channel. West Light has a few squid and garfish while shore-based anglers are plodding the sand for flathead and mullet.

Port Victoria: Squid, a few scattered and lazy KG whiting, garfish and sprat tommy ruff (Australian herring) for the boaties and squid from the jetty have been the main reports during the week, but windy and rough conditions limited fishing opportunities. Balgowan and Chinaman’s Well are also worth a try for whiting and squid on the drift.

Point Turton: Boat crews keen for a fish over the weekend took shelter close to the shoreline at Hardwicke Bay. Mullet, squid and small tommies were the resultant catch. The jetty has small tommies and squid at night.

Stenhouse Bay/Marion Bay: Offshore fishing was a mere dream in the big seas last week, but crews can expect red nannygai, blue morwong, big flathead and squid when conditions permit. Shore-based fishing has mullet at Berry Bay and Gym Beach. The jetties have occasional mullet (Marion Bay), tommies (Stenhouse Bay) and squid when the water is clear.

Edithburgh: KG whiting reports are for fish to 40cm in the deeper waters at Orontes Bank (Stansbury/Port Vincent) and Tapley Shoals (Edithburgh). Coobowie has a few garfish and squid as does Sultana Point, while mullet, tommies and squid can be found at the jetty.

Pine Point/Ardrossan: Gar and small squid were the main catches for boat crews as they used local weather knowledge to find shelter from the westerly winds last week. Long Spit has KG whiting and the shoreline has mullet and an occasional flathead off Pine Point and Tiddy Widdy beach.    

Tight lines and see you next week!
