Port Lincoln Fishing Tour Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival to Port Lincoln

Upon arrival in Port Lincoln, the seafood capital of Australia, you’ll be greeted by a guide. After checking in, your Eyre Peninsula fishing adventure begins with some surf fishing. To reach your beach fishing spot, you’ll take a 90km drive on Flinders Highway and then navigate a private 4WD track through enormous sand dunes. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to cast out into the pristine waters from where the car is parked, with plenty of gutters close to the shoreline for salmon. This secluded beach provides a great opportunity to catch Australian salmon or flatheads. You’ll watch the sunset before heading back to your accommodation.

Day 2 Offshore fishing adventure in Coffin Bay

An early start awaits for today’s Coffin Bay excursion, a mere 30-minute drive to the haven of the world-renowned oysters. Coffin Bay is home to an array of flora, fauna, and abundant fish species, with a unique system of bays and inlets that classify the area as a maritime wilderness. Onboard the “Full Rip,” a Markham Dominator Shark Cat with twin 150 horsepower Honda engines, we navigate with ease to maximize fishing time. The vessel is equipped with the latest navigation and safety gear and an onboard toilet. Using quality rods, reels, lures, and fresh bait, we embark on offshore and inshore fishing for a variety of species such as Blue Groper, Blue Morwong, Wrasse, Snapper, Shark, Nannagai, Swallow Tail, big Trevally, and Samson fish. At day’s end, we retire to our accommodations after cleaning up.
