Recipe, crab and mozzarella pizza. Ingredients: Pita bread, bases, chermoula or basil pesto, 300g cooked crabmeat, 500g mozzarella cheese, basil leaves chopped red onion, lemon juice. Method: Warm pita bases in oven, remove and spread liberal amount of chermoula or pesto over each. Top with crabmeat, red onion and cheese, and bake in oven for five minutes. Decorate with basil leaves, drizzle with lemon juice and serve.

Port Broughton: The weekend brought strong winds, followed by a reasonably mild Sunday morning after Saturday evening’s thunderstorm and brief shower to start Father’s Day. Fishers here are waiting to see whether the harmful algal bloom will affect the blue swimmer crab season.

Wallaroo: The odd lonely squid was caught from the jetty, while a few salmon trout showed up again along the rocky shoreline at Point Riley and Myponie Point, light gear works best. Out on the water, boat crews managed the occasional run for garfish, hampered by plenty of small, pesky tommy ruff (Australian herring).

Moonta Bay/Port Hughes: King George whiting were the favoured species from the deep-water drops off Cape Elizabeth and Steamer Channel. Crews who tried for blue crabs did not see much for their efforts, either offshore or from the jetty. Squid were caught at Port Hughes jetty on Saturday evening in the warm, balmy weather.

Port Victoria/Point Turton: Most crews in charter and larger recreational fishing boats had to run well out past Wardang Island for a feed of KG whiting, but the size of the fish was good and many achieved their quotas;  soft squid was the go-to bait. Small gar were reported off Port Rickaby and Magazine Bay.

Stenhouse Bay/Marion Bay: Boat crews were again challenged by weather and boat ramp conditions, but the persistent fishers managed runs for red nannygai, kingfish and some good flathead inshore. Salmon up to a kilo were taken from many local beaches, along with late-season mullet. Jetty fishing was quiet, with lots of tape weed in the water.

Tight lines and see you next week!
