advise on fishing the shelf off cape naturaliste

Hi guys and girls hope all had a great christmas and new year. Just looking at heading to the shelf on thursday for the first time have fished the lumps but thought i would go further and try and catch some deep water fish. any advise on what to expect and does the weather get worse the further you go out any advice on anything would be great.

Good luck
