Port Lincoln Fishing

With diverse marine life teaming in Port Lincoln’s Eyre Peninsula waters, the question is, where should you go fishing in Australia’s Seafood Capital.

​

Port Lincoln’s jetties make for an easy accessible fishing experience with deep water on every cast. The town jetty and the jetty within the Port Lincoln Tourist Park are popular spots for whiting, squid, garfish, and kingfish, with changing species each season. Beaches like Taylors Landing, Carcase Rock, and September Beach are hot for southern bluespot gropers, particularly during high tides. For your own space, or uncrowded experience, beaches between Taylors Landing to Coffin Bay are good for you. Just know a permit is required at Memory Cove Wilderness Area.

​

For the ultimate anglers, head offshore with the teeming diverse underwater wildlife. Launch your boat from marinas at Port Lincoln or Tumby Bay or join a guided fishing charter. The species to catch offshore include snapper, nannygai, morwong, and kingfish. Always prioritize safety, check weather conditions before heading out, and ensure your boat and equipment are in good working order. Spots like Ile Verte Reefs, Cape Donington, and Neptune Islands are where you want to go for trophy fish like tuna, marlin, and even sharks (with proper permits and regulations followed).

Fishing in Port Lincoln isn't just about the catch; it's about the experience. Imagine casting your line under the vast blue sky, feeling the ocean breeze on your face, and enjoying the tranquility of being surrounded by nature. Although, that doesn’t mean catching isn’t the best part. For all the local and up to date information, say hello to the tackle shops and get all the information like quantity and size limits.
