The July school holidays have arrived with a blast of cold northeasterly winds, bringing rain to the far north of our state and chills to fishers on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Whether you're on a local jetty, in a tinny, or at the beach, there's plenty of action to be found these school holidays!

Hot Spots and Tips:

• Jetties: Pt Noarlunga, Normanville, Rapid Bay, and The Bluff are buzzing with tommies, big squid, and salmon up to 1 kg. Squid are particularly aggressive in the last hour of daylight, while tommies are best early in the morning. Use a good berley trail and light gear for the best tommy catch—these fish are plump and full of flesh!
• Boats: Anglers from Sellicks, Carrickalinga, Lady Bay, Wirrina, and Cape Jervis are finding it tough with discoloured waters slowing down the bite. However, big boat crews are chasing tuna, snapper, red nannys, and kingfish at the Sanders Bank and off Tunk and Newland Head.
• Shore Fishing: For those casting from the shore, head to Morgan's, Fisheries, Waits, and Parson's. Work the gutters and target high tides for a better chance at catching salmon.
• Local Waters: Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor are good spots when the weather permits. Boat crews are finding KG whiting, squid, and garfish around Yilki Bay and West Island grounds.
• River Fishing: The Goolwa river mouth and Scab Channel are holding mullet and the occasional soapie mulloway. There's also mulloway along the Coorong at The Granites.

Key Tips:

• Squid Fishing: Best during the last hour of daylight.
• Tommy Ruffs: Early morning is prime time with a berley trail and light gear.
• Salmon: Work the gutters and target high tides for the best results.

Stay warm, stay safe, and happy fishing!
