About Port Neill Jetty

Port Neill's jetty went up in 1912 to ship wheat, wool and barley off the eastern Eyre Peninsula, and the commerce left decades ago — the deck now exists for fishing, swimming and walking, which is a fair description of the whole town.

Best tide state to fish Port Neill Jetty

The prevailing wind here is an onshore south-easterly that chops Spencer Gulf into something not worth fishing, and Mottled Cove is the exception — that is the entire reason boats launch here when the coast either side is blown out. Clear water after a calm spell is what the gar want, and what the calamari will want again one day; a blow that dirties the bay usually kills the deck session and switches the beaches on instead. Spencer Gulf runs semi-diurnal tides with a fortnightly dodge, and on those days the water goes nowhere and the fish generally agree, so plan around a running tide at dawn or dusk. Winter brings the whiting closer. Summer is snook, beach whiting and holiday traffic.

What anglers target here
