Hi all
Ive been wanting to catch a blue groper for many many years and want some advice on where to catch them if possible.
I have 610 quinny and all the right gear...Just missing the spots.. I live in Bunbury and would love a spot or two.
Any possible help wanted..

Hi jesse
Hi jesse,
Your very unlikely to get spots these days, but sure the guys might be able to assist with ways to target them.
Cheers,
Adam

augusta
a mate of mine has been to augusta 3 times now and caught a big blue every time , the best tip i can give you is to fish with rock crabs or very fresh squid heads and fish close to an island or rocks with some reasonably deep water close to the shore. cheers

Land Based?Never have tried
Land Based?
Never have tried myself. Have seen footage of rock hoppers along south coast (possible all the way east)
Start from Cape Naturliste and head southwards, e.g Bears Rock
From what i understand quite deep water and blue grooper fight like a ^#@":! so be prepared to loose a rig or 20
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

basically look for big
basically look for big bouldetrs in areas shore baseds ppl cant get too, then just go right up onto the wall, chuck a balloon with a whole crab on it 2m down and let it sit right in the white water, ud be suprised how many u get right in on the rocks, also try on rocky ground with big sand patches, fish on the rocks or just of them in 10-15m water seen heaps in that lvl and got a 30kg myself down near augusta, i saw about 8 others in that area all over 20Kg
