Alright Brett. Looks yummy. Hey, what's up with the fishing conditions, surf? temp? Are those the favorite species?

Hell I've seen marlin caught from the rocks! :eek:

hey AC, that's E AUS, not W AUS.

That's like telling an American, "What's with the calico bass, I've seen 1000# bluefin caught in 300' of water."

lol

There is a place near Shark Bay in Western Australia called Steep Point (http://www.steeppoint.com.au/) where they fish off of some very high cliffs.

If you fall and manage to avoid hitting the rocks on the way down, there is always this to think about :eek:

It would be a helluva place to do some kayak fishing

Yet another future destination to fish...nice pix.

I could spend a whole weekend there, camp out on the rocks, waitin' for the clicker to scream...

Not where we launch , its somewhat protected by Garden Island which stops the big swells hitting us, at Woodmans Pt its usually easy launching. :)
