Subject: Fishing Report - Adelaide Metropolitan Area
A word of warning for metropolitan boat angers.
White pointer sharks have approached boats at st Kilda and Glenelg in the past week, and each summer a number of sharks follow snapper boats into both gulfs. Anglers with smaller craft in particular should keep a wary eye on the water, as the St Kilda angler involved was only fishing for garfish when the big shark arrived alongside and sent him scurrying back to the ramp.
St Kilda boat crews reported better catches of garfish, whiting and blue crabs.
There was a good haul of snapper taken at the Goannas on Friday night.
Breakwater anglers managed modest mixed bags of yellowfin whiting, salmon trout and tommies, while Port River triers found bream from the Bower Rd causeway down to Snowdens Beach.
North Haven launchers scored plenty of garfish from Football Park to Outer Harbor, but whiting were again hard to find in numbers.
Snook were active on Semaphore Reef and the silt grounds while early-morning beach anglers caught yellowfin whiting and garfish at Tennyson and Semaphore.
Snook, mackerel and garfish are plentiful on West Beach and Glenelg grounds, with whiting catches of up to 18 a boat on afternoon tides.
A few snapper were boated at Clarries Ground while beach and jetty anglers found yellowfin whiting.
There was little change at O'Sullivan Beach, with snook, garfish and tommies the main catch, along with salmon trout to salmon size at Christies Beach.
For land-based anglers there are salmon trout at Southport and Port Willunga.
Several mulloway from 70cm to 80cm were caught in the Onkaparinga at night.
