Fishing and Jettys

Rapid Bay

The jetty is a good spot to fish deep water for salmon, jewfish, yellowtail kingfish, snapper, tommy ruff, snook, mackerel, trevally, barracouta, garfish and pike. The best times to fish are at night in the summer seasons. 

Cape Jervis

This is the favorite spot for boat anglers who take the dangerous yet bountiful waters of the Backstairs Passage which separates mainland from Kangaroo Island. In this area anglers can take regularly several species such as large snapper, tuna, barracouta, trevally and salmon. Land-based fishermen will take large salmon and tommy ruff from the jetty. The Blow Hole, Porpoise Head and Cobblers Hill are the other 'hot spots' along the coast.

Waitpinga Beach and Parsons Beach

These beaches offer some of the best surf fishing on the peninsula. Huge catch of salmon are yielded, especially during the winter. Tailor, bream, jewfish and mullet are abundant.

Victor Harbour

Is a famous holiday spot and the biggest town in the region. Kings Beach, Bluff and seaward of Granite Island are the local 'hot spots' to catch salmon trout, garfish, sweep and tommy ruff. The embankment on Granite Island is popular for their large snapper and jewfish. Nearby the Inman Rivers and Hindmarsh offers good sized bream, especially at night.
