Question 1

How do I place Macdonnell Bay on a map?

Accepted Answer

In South Australia, it falls inside Grant, low ground up. The nearest towns are Moorak, 21 km, and Mount Gambier, 26 km. Look for where the bottom shelves away within casting range.

Question 2

Which fish have been recorded near Macdonnell Bay?

Accepted Answer

Grant records list shortfin eel, southern pygmy perch, yarra pygmy perch and yellow-eye mullet among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area.

Question 3

Does Macdonnell Bay hold much depth?

Accepted Answer

Public data holds no depth for it. Start with this: shallow weed early, deeper edges later in the day. The season here follows water temperature, not the calendar.

Question 4

Does Macdonnell Bay freeze?

Accepted Answer

It does not freeze here. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish early and late. Overcast days spread the sport across more hours.

Question 5

Can I put a boat in at Macdonnell Bay?

Accepted Answer

Public mapping has no launch point here. Check the season dates for what you intend to fish for. Goodwill keeps these banks open, so use it.

Question 6

Is the bank at Macdonnell Bay open?

Accepted Answer

Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. State rules on size and season still apply, so read them before you set out.
