South Australian Angler – June 2018

L

ast issue we looked at the land-

based options along the south-

western coast of the Eyre Peninsula

from Coffin Bay to Elliston. This

edition we’re going to pick up where

we left off, and detail the land-based

fishing from Elliston northwards to

Streaky Bay, some 190km of coastline.

While the coastline southwards of

Elliston is dominated by surf beaches,

these stretches of sand give way to

journey inside Waterloo Bay, right

on the doorstep of Elliston. This bay

offers calm water along an otherwise

unforgiving stretch of coast. The water

still surges within the bay when there’s

a fair swell running, but overall the bay

offers safe, sheltered fishing.

The heritage-listed jetty is the

most obvious land-based fishing

option within the bay, and at 424m

long it’s a substantial structure. The

a mix of rocky headlands, sheltered

bays and beaches when you push

northwards. There are plenty of good

land-based fishing options along this leg

of the Eyre Peninsula, with productive

rock, beach and jetty fishing on offer.
