SOME magnificent weather over the last week prompted plenty of anglers onto the water and with fish reports coming through from far and wide, I do not think many went home empty handed.
Offshore this week has been red hot with come cracking fish landed.
Gummy and school shark have again been the most prevalent, but I know of several morwong, nannygai and even a few Tassie trumpeter boated as well.
The flathead fishing this week has been incredible, with big numbers of both sand and tiger flatties.
The 100m line is the best bet for a feed, and you are also a shot for a shark out there too.
The fishing in close along Green and Danger Points has been excellent, with plenty more shark and mulloway on offer.
Nigel Telford fished Tuesday night with Jamie Widdison and found excellent numbers of snapper, which were all released and 20 or more mulloway up to 98cm.
The boys kept two of the bigger fish for a feed and let the rest go.
There have been a few gummy shark sneaking around the kelp beds recently, so do not let the snapper closure put you off from having a crack.
The surf fishing has been quite good again this week and the results have been spread out.
Piccininni Beach through Green Point and down to Browns Bay has produced plenty of gummy shark and while the average size is not huge, the numbers have more than made up for it.
Mulloway have been in good numbers through the same areas, and although the majority have been undersize fish, there are some bigger ones cruising with them, so you just never know.
Canunda has produced some great fish this week and I have seen gummy and school shark to 15kg, plus even a couple of bronze whalers.
The Coorong is still fishing well, with most of the news I have heard from the 42 mile area, but keep cruising until you find some good water and you are in with a good shot.
Whiting fishing this week has again been fantastic, with some excellent numbers of big fish caught.
The Port MacDonnell breakwater has again been excellent for both the boaties and land based fishos alike, with reasonable numbers of 32-40cm fish landed.
The guys fishing Blackfellows Caves through to Carpenters Rocks have been catching plenty of bigger fish also, with most of those over 40cm.
Craig Philp fished on Tuesday night with Andrew Allnutt and managed a nice feed between them, with the smallest being 37cm.
Mullet and tommy ruff have started to turn up in better numbers this week and the average size seems to be ever increasing.
Red Rock Bay, Livingstons and Cape Douglas have all produced, although the fish definitely are not limited to those areas.
The Garfish and squid numbers in Livingstons are still excellent and I think they will hang around for a bit longer yet.
Yabbies have been on the crawl again this past week, with no one lake producing more than others.
It does not seem to matter what side of the border you are on, the numbers are excellent.
With the warm weather we have seen over the past few days, the redfin numbers have really fired right up.
Bright coloured minnows or spinners are getting the job done, or the ever popular bunch of worms for those who prefer to soak a bait.
The Glenelg River has fished quite well this week, with the bulk of the mulloway news coming from down in the estuary.
Fish to 75cm have been caught and plenty of smaller specimens also.
The bream and perch have been very spread out.
The bridge area is holding excellent numbers of perch of an evening and a small minnow style lure, or a top water lure will see plenty caught.
There have been some excellent bream from upstream, with the areas from Sapling Creek and upwards seeing the best fish.
Bream upwards of 35cm have been consistently landed and quite a few perch too.
There looks to be a bit of wind forecast for this weekend, so the keen guys will still fish and make the most of it.
Until next week, safe fishing.
