Exmouth Easter
Submitted by johnathon on Sun, 2018-03-11 10:53
Hi People, last year the family and i took the boat 5.8m to Coral bay but it blew for the entire time we were there so didnt get out.
But this year we are camping in the Exmouth national park for the first time.
Is there anyone else fishing exmouth over easter that wouldnt mind if we tagged along for a day or two in our boat to get a feel of the area? not after any secret spots just would like to get a feel of the area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated even if its just simple advice.
Thanks in advance.

Will be in Exmouth over Easter
But will be chasing all sorts on fly only. Good spots to try bottom bashing which I presume you will be doing is the shoals in the gulf (shows up on the sounder charts). Sounds like you'll be on the ningaloo side and all you need to do is follow the channel markers out to the back of the reef through Tandabidi, easy and safe if you're no going to take short cuts. Then I recon the world's your oyster. Troll, bottom bash what ever you cant go wrong no need to follow anyone around. Done it heaps in a tinny.

It's a pretty easy place to fish so long as you follow the channel markers and use commom sense.
Spaniards are not hard to find if you troll the drop-offs and bottom fish are wherever you find them! Sharks will always be a problem but just move on and try to get away from them. Lots of fun to be had so just get out and explore!
