Preston Beach

Looking at heading up to preston beach sunday, with a few mates. Weather forecast looks to be pretty good so thought we would make the most of it. Just wondering what the weed situation is up there and what the beaches are like to drive on atm?

Might kayak a few bigger baits out see if we can tempt a shark, while having the surf roads out try for some gummys, tailor or if we are lucky maybe even a mulloway

Any info on the area would be much appreciated

Cheers

There's an article in the news today about a Whale carcass there at the moment

 

You may get the sharks you want, on the otherhand it's been there a few days and will fricken stink!

Also in the photo you can see a lot of weed washed up in the area

Turns out the photo is from last month in Kilcarnup, not the current carcass at Preston

 

I'd still put money on lots of washed up weed though

Why they just don’t tow it

Why they just don’t tow it some 50 km offshore and blow it to pieces (well, that’s optional :) ) If the carcass wasn’t washed up on the beach, it would just “disappear” in the water anyway, so why don’t do that?
