Shelter Bay, Steep Point

 Gday Guys

 

Myself and 5 mates are heading to Shelter Bay in Shark Bay from Sept 28th till the 8th

We have 2 boats and looking for any advice on Trolling for Macks and Getting bigger Snapper? is it warm enough? 

 

Last time we did well with catching plenty of Blue line Empror and Baldies in the shallows but all the Pinkies were tiny

 

Also if anyone is in the area around that time if there keen to catch up for a beer?

 Awesome.  Spoke to the ranger the other day who said it was quite corrogated at the salt works

 

Excellent to hear plenty of fish about!  That said being up there with a cold beer and not at work it wouldnt really matter if there were no fish!

 First couple of days up

 First couple of days up there were very windy but it died right off.

 

Was only land based this time so didnt catch as much as i would have liked.  Plenty of fish about off the rocks but only little ones were biting

 

Corrugations were pretty bad by salt works.  Averaged about 10-15km/h on them so about 3.5 hours from Denham road to campsite which is about right.

 

Miss it already :(
