Plenty of good areas around
Plenty of good areas around Hedland ,if the boats a tinny there are plenty of creeks or if you can go deep just pull up on a pileon out in the channel until you get your own spots.The secret is to get a throw net and live bait the barra or troll slowly through the deep holes in the creeks.You will get threadfin this way too as well as jacks and triple tail.
There are two types of people ,do'ers and watchers
Right now the do'ers are the doing it
And the watchers are watching us do it

boat size and type of gear
boat size and type of gear you have might make it easier to point you in the right direction

plenty of options then, there
plenty of options then, there should be mackerel schooling up with all the coral spawn and baitfish around, maybe the odd tuna too, usually look for birds diving, if mackerel i usually troll lures around and if tuna i cast metals into the schools, do you have a 4wd?, if so i will keep you in mind next time i go for a barra fish and pm you to see if you are free to come, also feel free to pm any questions

I used to generally hit
I used to generally hit Cemetry beach and the Spoilbank but out by Pardoo is pretty good, got smashed by cod and some pretty big catfish (booo!) one visit. Out back of Finucane Island in the creeks went alright and also around six mile creek. Can't help ya with barra mate, never caught them there.
Your entitled to your opinion, it's just that yours is stupid.
