Best GT Fishing destination
Submitted by Beard_Slob on Sat, 2016-11-05 14:32
Wanting to head up to the Northwest for a break with my partner next year, a big G has been towards the top my bucket list for a while now. I was hoping some of you could recomend a good charter operator out of either Broome or Exmouth? and also time of year that would be the best. I would preffer to go somewhere we can do the other touristy stuff and kick back as well but the main aim of the trip will be to smash some Geets.
Cheers

I fished with them in Cape
I fished with them in Cape Verde. Spins the 35 Bertie around like a trailerboat. Good times.

Peak.... its cheaper I did
Peak.... its cheaper
I did some pricing up a few months back as Broome is a lot closer than Exmouth for me...
Accommodation is about the same price wise

"Easy" GTArchipelago
mate, I have no idea why it never gets a mention, but if you want GT fishing at its very best without spending a million bucks.you can't beat Dampier Archipelago.i
there are some monsters there, and they are relatively easy to get at, unfortunately, NOT east to get to the boat. and the fishing is a half hour from the Mercure, add in Karagini and the rock art on the Burrup, great destination. Easy access, good accommodation, and some amazing SWF opportunities.

Wa wind
yeah, that one day of the year when it doesn't blow it's arse off.
Take yesterday, Weather said " smooth" seas and winds under 10'knots in the arvo.
I watched the whitecaps become more and more frequent, decided to head in, and spent 20 minutes doing the 3 miles back into the river in 20 knots of " gentle breeze"
again.

What happened to Simon from
What happened to Simon from Aqualib?
I used to do SWF FTOL, but Good old Fisheries gradually made it just too bloody hard for a little bloke to operate.
Captain Brad Beaumont does trips, but I am unsure if he is tourism or if he does fishing as well ( Google him up)
