Boating

Boating at Kingston SE and Cape Jaffa – Tips from a local fishing enthusiast

Chad who manages the Kingston Foreshore Caravan Park along with his wife Kristy, talks about how to make the most of your boating holiday while in Kingston.

There are two main boat ramps in Kingston and if you have a 4WD, you can also launch off the beach. He shares information about what can be caught at various times of the year which are also found on the Primary Industries and Regions SA website with relevant permits.

“For people with larger boats, cruising up and down the coastline at sunset is always a great experience. You can hang around Lacepede Bay in calmer waters. If you are a more experienced boater, you can head over to Cape Jaffa, but take care because it can get a bit choppy and there is an exposed reef. For the more experienced boaters, you can go to Margaret Brock Reef and take a look at the original lighthouse location before it was moved to Kingston.”

The best months for fishing are from October through to May, but if you don’t mind harsher weather conditions and you have a 4WD with the right gear, you can brave it down at the Coorong through winter.

“Tommy ruffs, garfish, King George whiting, mullet, squid are all there and within one km of the beach. It is calm and protected so the waters won’t be too rough if you have people who might get a little seasick. The fish hang about in the white holes amongst the sea grass, and the squid are usually over the sea grass.”
