🎣 Jetty Fishing
If you don’t own a boat, don’t worry — some of the best fishing in South Australia happens right off the jetty. From garfish and tommies to squid, crabs, and even mulloway, jetties offer access, variety, and plenty of opportunity — especially if you fish smart.
Here’s how to make every cast count from the planks.
📍 Choose the Right Jetty
Not all jetties are created equal. Some are shallow and sandy, others drop off quickly or have built-in lighting that draws fish after dark.
📍 Choose the Right Jetty
Not all jetties are created equal. Some are shallow and sandy, others drop off quickly or have built-in lighting that draws fish after dark.
Here are a few proven spots:
– Port Hughes – Great for squid, garfish, and tommies
– Rapid Bay – Deeper water access for trevally, gar, and squid
– Brighton – Accessible, family-friendly, and consistent action
– Wallaroo – Excellent for night squid and mulloway when the tides align
🎣 What Gear to Bring
Jetty fishing is about packability and purpose. You don’t need heavy gear — just the right stuff.
– Light spinning rod (6–8ft) with 6–12lb line
– Pencil float setup for gar or tommies
– Squid jigs in a variety of sizes and colours
– Berley bucket and sponge
– Long-handled net (essential!)
– Bucket or esky for your catch
🧴 Why Tassie Salmon Fish Oil Works So Well from a Jetty
You’re not casting far. The goal is to pull the fish in close — right where your line is.
That’s why Tassie Salmon Fish Oil Mix™ is so effective off jetties:
– Soak a sponge and drop it into your burley bucket
– Hang the pot directly beneath where you’re fishing
– The oil creates a scent trail that travels in current or still water
– No frozen blocks or bread slop needed — just clean, potent attractant
It brings the fish to you — and keeps them there longer.
💡 Pro Tips for Jetty Success
– Fish dawn, dusk, or night for best results
– Bring polarised sunnies to spot fish under the surface
– Keep bait small and sharp — garfish and tommies are picky
– Don’t be afraid to move along the rail if bites drop off
– Keep the burley going — and refresh your sponge with oil regularly

Jetty fishing is easy to access, beginner-friendly, and incredibly productive when done right.
And with Tassie Salmon Fish Oil Mix™ in your burley bucket, you’ll attract more fish, more often — without the mess.
No boat? No problem. Just add oil.
