We're fishing Port Hughes jetty on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia looking to catch a feed. We target squid, whiting, tommy ruff (Australian Herring), and even the elusive Yellowtail Kingfish.
The Port Hughes Jetty offers a large array of fishing opportunities for beginners to experienced anglers. It is a fishing hotspot on the northwestern coast of the Yorke Peninsula.
This fishing video has a lot of tips and tricks and fishing techniques and we share several squid catches and a surprise hook-up with a cuttlefish who ends up taking a souvenir with him.
Jetty fishing at Port Hughes is a great opportunity with a general store at the start of the jetty, public toilets and food.

Another great video Matt! Great use of the drone too, added a nice dimension to the video... subtle, brief, and impactful!

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

Yeah, sometimes I just get too much into the fishing and forget, or weather is no good to use the drone. On this occasion, I was there nice and early and had time... it definitely helps break it up and showcase the location.

@10tenadventures 4 месяца назад

@MattsFishingEscapes looked like a great spot, will have to try and get there next time I'm in SA

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

@@10tenadventures there are 3 good jetties in that area, Wallaroo, Moonta and then Port Hughes... All worthy spots for a fish! And then Wauraltee Beach is a great spot (outside of usual school holidays etc) to Caravan on the beach.

Always good to watch Matt. Worth a trip to Goolwa if you want cockles mate. They are big and everywhere this season. We haven't tried Port Hughes yet but it's on the list.

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

Yeah, I used to do it as a kid when we lived south of the city... if I factor in fuel, the cost of cockles probably isn't too bad. 😁

Good idea to have a crab net handy when landing big ones

@MattsFishingEscapes Месяц назад

Yes, it's something I've thought about... Both for the crabs and the large squid/cuttlefish!

@teedee5540 Месяц назад

Hi mate, well done. If I'm chasing whiting on that jetty I always move up and down the jetty with a rod and cast into all the sand holes, often it's the ones a little further out that are holding whiting.

@MattsFishingEscapes Месяц назад

Yes keeping mobile is always worth it!

@karloshagen4037 4 месяца назад

Mate! Keep up the videos, love your work. Another fella mentioned it but yeah salt the cockles. They stay on the hook better. Grab a bag of them, shell them onto some news paper, and sprinkle some salt on them. Let them dry for an hour or so then put them in a Tupperware container. Sprinkle a bit more salt on the top. Also for the big squid/cuttle fish get your self a crab net and you can use that to retrieve them as opposed to pulling them up by the line

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

Cheers Karlos! Yeah def want to grab a couple of crab nets! Will get the salt.onto the cockles!

@explicitsquatch8093 3 месяца назад

How are you catching the squid? I didn't see you working it by winding in....It would be awesome if you could show us your technique... 👍

@MattsFishingEscapes Месяц назад

Sure. Some we're caught on teasers, others on straight jigging. I cast and let it sink for 6-10s, depending how deep you're in. You want to be as close to the bottom but not getting weed or snagged. Then give some aggressive flicks 2 or 3 times. Let it sink for about 3 - 7 seconds. Rinse and repeat. Squid generally grab it on the float down. Then when you flick you'll feel the weight and pulsing of the squid. #tightlines

@PedroVonWorzelburger 28 дней назад

I've fished off that jetty many times with not too much luck. I've caught a few garfish but I've noticed when the kingfish come in and everything scatters. To make it more frustrating it seems the kingfish only pass through and move on pretty quickly. I've heard Balgowan is a good spot just south of Port Hughes but has no jetty. I'm a new sub, thanks for sharing!

@MattsFishingEscapes 27 дней назад

Cheers Pedro. Yeah it's more been Squid and Tommies and Gar. Yes some of the beaches around the area, the Gap camp ground etc are good too. Hope you enjoy the content. I need to get out to get another video going. But life has been getting in the way the past 3 weeks.

@oldbloke204 4 месяца назад

Had one of the best sessions on the squid there a few years back with a mate. Quiet for most of the day and then went crazy towards dusk when we caught heaps and some really big ones as well. Had a good session at Second Valley last year and had caught enough in about 20 minutes although we could have caught many more if we kept at it. I even helped a Japanese Tourist with no idea catch a big one which created plenty of noise and excitement. I'm hoping to get back down that way in a couple of months.

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

I need to get down to Rapid Bay and Second Valley soon. I remember when I was really little my dad and I did and overnight trip down there. It was so windy at Second Valley (before it had railing) that my dad tied a rope around my waist and the jetty! It's great how fishing creates life long memories!

@oldbloke204 4 месяца назад

@@MattsFishingEscapes Yeah very true. I used to go to Blowhole Creek fishing with some older workmates when I first started working and want to get back there again. The weather has been a bit average the last couple of times we went so we didn't get down to fish there. I stay at the Stringybark campground and try to stay for at least 4 or more nights if I can.

@@MattsFishingEscapes I'm a couple of hours away and planning, packing and getting there to set up is a bit of an effort so that's why I prefer to go for up to a week. ............and I'm slack. The camping trips are well worth the effort though imo. I saw a thing called a Squid gaff being used which I think is a great idea. When I was down there last time I hooked a very large Squid and couldn't lift it onto the Jetty. I tried walking it to shore but lost it when I was nearly there. Might be something to look at if you do a bit of Squid fishing?

@MattsFishingEscapes 3 месяца назад

Yes, I've seen a squid gaff... though I kinda want less gear to take out... Maybe a crab net is better/more useful?

Hey mate. Garfish has to be 23cm from the small upper lip to the tail. I’ve been doing Yorkes over the last few week with little to no luck. I’ve done a 180 switch and gone to rapid bay instead and boom, fish galore. Lots of kings around there atm too. I’d like to see you do a rapid bay trip. Burley, paternoster with size 2 hook and a cockle. Lots of line burning fun on the trevally.

@MattsFishingEscapes 4 месяца назад

Ah yes, I just double checked my fish measurer, 23cm... Thanks for that. Lucky he was to size. I do need to get down south... I live near Barossa so it's a fair hike. Really about the same as Yorkes, but feels longer due to going through the city. I also need to do it on a weekday to avoid the crowds on the tiny rapid bay jetty... Oh the memories of fishing on the old jetty as a kid! Thanks for the tips.
