Hey Crew
Anyone in or just been to Coral Bay? Headed up in a cpl of weeks..just touching base to see if sharks are manageable etc.
Also, any FW members got any tips on where to get Occys in CB- need something to do in the spare time. Im thinking the cliffs with shallow reefs 5-10 kms south would be a good start on a low tide?
Heard the squid are in good numbers too in the normal Five fingers area
thanks

Found that around that time of year you tend to get better fishing weather. Mid April till June. you do get the odd day thats shit but usually its only a couple . Touch wood lol. When we go it works out well as my birthday is mid may so we go out for dinner as well.
