Welcome to the column with all the hot tips for fishing around Yorke Peninsula; contact Greg by email at greg@gregjamesfishing.com.au
Port Broughton: Boat crews are catching kingfish and large leather jackets at Jurassic Park and, before dawn, King George whiting from the old car bodies drop. The jetty has after-dusk tommy ruff (Australian herring) and blue crabs.
Wallaroo: The new grain barge was hard at work when I sighted a number of boaties fishing south of the ferry channel on a ripper Saturday morning for gar, blueys and a few squid. There are tommies, squid and the occasional bluey at the jetty, which has a grain ship loading.
Port Hughes/Moonta Bay: Try the jetties for big squid (set the lure deep) and blue crabs. Crews running out from local boat ramps enjoyed magic weather late in the week for snook, whiting, red mullet and garfish. Local shore-based fishing still has a few yellowfin whiting on the high tides.
Point Turton: Those rock and sand patches about 1km offshore north of Hardwicke Bay have KG whiting and flathead. Shore-based fishing has garfish and tommy ruff in good numbers for anglers using light gear at Barker Rocks, The Pines and Point Souttar.
Marion Bay/Stenhouse Bay: Try the jetties for gar and squid. KG whiting, sweep and salmon are inside the bay at Pondalowie with garfish, salmon trout and squid in close to the main island. Samson fish and kingies are the main reports for crews chasing tuna offshore.
Edithburgh/Stansbury: A few blue crabs are being caught from Klein Point and Coobowie with KG whiting at Troubridge Light and Orontes Bank. Sultana Passage and The Hut have garfish, blueys and snook, while the jetties have tommies and squid.
Ardrossan: The sightings of crab rakers continue in the early mornings from Billy Goat Flat, Rogues Point and onto Tiddy Widdy Beach. The jetty also has blueys and some gar while boat crews are working hard for a few blueys, squid and garfish at Windara Reef and the north-west artificial reefs.
Tight lines and see you next week!
