steep point in july?

contemplating a trip to steep in july. have only really fished there when the water is warm. has anyone fished there during the cooler months with success. im guessing the bottom species will still be there but pelagics? ytk? been in tassie and the trout just dont cut the mustard. my ears are craving the sound of screaming drags. any thoughts?

Booking

Ring the ranger and make a booking first. That way you can be sure of a campsite. Nothing wrong with July to fish there though there is a chance of a cold front getting up that far to stir things up but there is always the inside on the bay available.

 Always good time for Mack's and yft in the cooler months I spent two weeks last july fishing bernier island from carnarvon and most years hit quobba early may with great results from both 1 tip if you can get hydrogen for balloons I reccomend as it works a lot better in light winds and you use half as much. Good luck with the trip!

if my highschool chemistry classes taught me right, it might be a bit dangerous to use hydrogen in your balloons matte!
