North Haven marina rock walls are located south of the popular Outer Harbor breakwater at the entrance of Port River.
Outer Harbour is the better spot to target mulloway, but occasional mulloway are caught from North Haven’s rock walls.
Mulloway are usually caught here in summer and autumn.
Small livebaits such as mullet, salmon trout or squid is a must, and you should fish at night.
For mulloway, don’t cast too far from the rocks, as they patrol the edge.
Also, the last of the runout tide can fish well for mulloway at this location.
Week nights are best when there is less boat traffic.
For landbased fishos, North Haven rock walls produce mostly salmon trout, squid, garfish, black bream, yelloweye mullet, flathead and blue swimmer crabs.
Flathead are mostly an incidental catch in South Australia, but there are enough flathead on North Haven’s sandy sea floor to be worth targeting – just slowly retrieve a bait or lure to catch them.
North Haven also has good boat fishing nearby, with king george whiting, red mullet, squid, garfish, flathead and snapper found over patch ground and near the seagrass beds.
Gummy sharks and large rays are caught from the North Haven rock walls at night.
Note that there are special rules for fishing for sharks and rays in South Australia.
Other landbased spots to try near Adelaide include the productive Port River estuary, and West Lakes, a reclaimed marsh that is now a saltwater canal estate and a great spot to target large black bream.
Adelaide’s metro jetties are located south of North Haven, at Semaphore and Largs Bay, Grange, Henley, Glenelg and Brighton.
