Dirk Hartog Island Fishing & Camping

Crew,

 

Planning a trip out to DHI in Julyish, I`ll be towing my 4.2 quinni dingi up to try and sample some of the goodness that i`ve heard is on offer out from the island.

As far as the camping goes i want access to the western side of the island to hunt baldies etc on the nicer days, I was thinking Withnel point or Dampiers Landing as I want to either moore or launch and retrieve the Dingi as easily as possible.

If the weather isnt so good then the likes of off Turtle bay or anywhere in the lee off the island protected from the south westerly could be good plan b`s.

Any advice on the camping aspect and also the fishing hows and the wheres would be great.

Cheers - Timboon....

I think that you have to get permisson and pay to stay on the island from the Wardle family that have the lease on the island. The wind can be pretty nasty with tthe easterly accross the bay. Have a lood at a previous thread on staying at Withnell pt.
