Snapper ban is supposed to end in 2025.

Reports from bottom of Yorke Peninsula is that whiting fishers are getting 10 snapper for every whiting.  Small fish now... but HEAPS of them.

I cant wait for the ban to end, they are my favourite target.

Check out the area around Smokey Bay.  Excellent fisjing region, BIG night skies.   30 min drive to  Ceduna

Check out this Sth Aust site. You will get more local knowledge,

https://www.fishinsa.com.au

and be prepared to bring lots!  Depending on where you finally settle.... there are not huge numbers of fishing shops to visit...

Thanks for the explanations Sylva. Sounds like the various groups are run as private clubs.  Do any of them get govt subsidies?  if they do I'd expect they should 'serve the general public'.

I've just read the AVCG website... and they infer SA boaties must be a paid up member of their "Marine Assist"  offering in order to get service!! First I've heard of it....

.............................., unlike some other MR organizations

Interesting comment and should be explained further.

In Sth Aust, all VMR groups (Sea Rescue groups, AVCG, SES groups, Coastal Patrol etc) will provide support to anyone - regardless !

Most 'lakes' along that coast are only wet after heavy rain. I've never heard of fish/fishing in them.

Beaches along that part of the coast are open to the southern ocean... next stop south = antarctica,

From memory they are fairly steep, no real bars/gutters but that will depend on weather/swells etc.

I suggest you join Fishinsa.com.au (free) - there are a few regular contributors that live down that way

I trust Mangrove Jack is a special fish and not an STD......

We could do.... the steaks are high..

Waygu  (we-go) over the top-side more often than we should.....

Got in a car crash last night. 

You wouldn't believe it, T boned. Just missed a Limousin too. 

The other driver reckons he wasn't drinking, but I call Bull. 

My horn blew so loud, was a Longhorn too, and he just couldn't Steer away.

He also just left the footy cause he still had his Jersey on. 

Said his name was Angus Bradford. 

 

 

Sounds like he really hurt your veal-ings...
