we went up there not knowing
we went up there not knowing where to go , got told a couple of areas to try and its not hard to find them , you could try a few miles out from the murion islands and look for ground as there is plenty , we found some with a sounder that barely worked

Few spots
Hey Marty, will respond to your PM tomorrow.
You can always try the shoals, Cooper's/Camplin about 7km-ish south of the marina, quite a few fish pop up in there. Mate got a 75cm coral trout on Saturday at Coopers. There are quite a few tuna schools that pop up in that area, so its worth keeping your eyes open.
Otherwise there's Exmouth reef, bit of a journey and needs exploring, but many types of bottom fish, lots of tuna on the way there generally and lots of trev's to test the gear.
Otherwise the back of Bundegi reef is worth a shot with some berley if you find some lumps, again, more exploring required.
They are the pick of the gulf spots really, otherwise its mainly tuna, school macks and well, you just never know what else!
Cheers,
Adam
