Fishing Hotting up at Coffin Bay

Lunch — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:29:23 +0000

Summer is apon us again(where did that year just go…..?) and as always,the fishing action is hotting up around the waters off beautiful Coffin Bay.
Wether it is off shore on the reefs hauling in big Snapper, Nanagai and Blue Morwong or in shore bagging out on the delacies of the well sought after table fish like King George Whiting, flathead and the fighting Trevally, there is plenty of fun for all!
There are also some early reports of Tuna being caught all ready, which means that water temperatures are warming up and from January onwards, they should be coming in thick and fast which makes exciting fishing!
For land based anglers, you cannot beat an afternoon of beach fishing for the big, hungry Australian Salmon. The salmon really take off once you’ve jagged them and with the size of some of these, they can really pull you into their territory! It’s fantastic fun for all ages on our private beach with spectacular scenery and coastline with a bit of 4WDriving thrown in to get us to the location.

As with the weather, day trips and charters are warming up with plenty of bookings, but lots of availabilities as well, so please contact us for more information! Below are some images from a recent trip.

Beach fishing for Australian Salmon

Lunch — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 03:28:36 +0000

We were lucky enough to show around The Travel Editor’s and freelance journalist, Rebecca Wicks around some of our secrets of Eyre Peninsula yesterday. After swimming with 40kg wild tuna in Port Lincoln, cruising around the sensational Coffin Bay on the Coffin Bay Explorer, some 4WDriving on massive sand dunes with killer ocean & clifftop views, we ended up at a prime endless beach.

The surf rods were unpacked, hooks loaded up, lines fired out & within minutes we were muscling in some big salmon. Check out this video to see Bec’s first fish caught off the beach. I like the way it was released as well!!

On Dec 15th, we had the absolute pleasure of being involved with & supporting South Australia’s/ Northern Territory’s division of CanTeens 2008 Survivor Summer Camp.

CanTeen is the amazing Australian organisation for young people living with cancer & this terrific group of young men & women came across to Port Lincoln for their annual camp for 4 days of fun filled activities.

CanTeen 2008 Survivor Summit

About 20 of the CanTeen champs came out our way for a few hours of fun filled action in the ways of sandboarding some monster sand dunes & to surf fish for Australian Salmon off the beach.An early start was had by the busload but the timing was absolutely spot on as the salmon were in close & hungry. Normally footprint free, the beach was in pristine condition but it wasnt long before the group churned up the sand in agsnt to get the rods in the water as the salmon were on the bite big time !

There was action a plenty with some big 3-4 kg fish getting landed & lots more getting hooked & muscled in to shore only to spit the hook out at the last second ! It was great excitement by all & really was a fishing frenzy with yours truly flat out re-baiting hooks & making up new jigs as many were getting snapped off by the size of the salmon ! Smaller groups went sandboarding & tackled the dunes but like all good fishing days, the stories & the sizes are all still getting bigger !

We have to thank Peter McGlennon from CanTeen, for getting Goin Off Safaris involved & we had just as much fun as what the CanTeen members had. To be able to show off a bit of our back yard to them was our absolute pleasure but the smiles & the enjoyment on the faces of these special individuals was a genuine highlight for us as well.

It was great meeting you all, keep well & stay safe !
