Coral Bay at christmas- Who else is up there?

Just putting it out there, I'll be at coral bay for a week starting saturday. After the dinghy i was gonna borrow fell through we've decided to hire a 5.5m half cabin from exmouth boat hire for the week. I've only been to cbay once, and that was without a boat, plus i'm a novice boaty in general, sooooooo... If anyone else will be there with a boat and wouldn't mind having us tag along at some point, for safety and/or some general pointers etc, that would be sweet. I've read about the north and (dodgy) south passage etc, but apart from that don't have much of an idea of where to go.

And in general, if anyone wants to say hello, have a drink or meet up for a landbased fish then fire away.

Will be in Wagoe the week after too!

 seabreeze & bouy weather are

 Seabreeze & Bouy Weather are usually the best combo for weather here. Use the Gnaraloo forcast on Seabreeze.

Grab the Coral Bay boating guide, both passages are well marked, just take your time heading towards south passage, a few bommies on the way past five fingers.

We will be running most good weather days, we usally leave just after 7:00am, feel free to say hi and if we are going out South follow us out for your first time if you want.

But if weather is good we usally take a bit of a shortcut and head out false passage. Not the best idea to follow us that way.

 I'm heading up next Thursday, so I hope to jump on board with you one day for a fish. 2 mates just went on your boat and Bert said he had a great time.

 Good to hear your mates had

 Good to hear your mates had a good time. Fishing has been awesome latley, not much current so have been able to fish deep getting plenty of glodys. With the system up north making it a bit windy, we are struggling to get out lately but looks like we should get a few trips in early in the new year. We are even going to try for a trip on new years day. Not what we usally do but with the bad weather we are getting out when we can. Just means the crew will have to have a quiet one, we have lots of experience with hungover punters anyway.
