dirkhartog baldy
1 of many on a perfect trip to steep point .just got back from what i can say is my best trip to the point to date we had perfect wheather every day and the fish were hungry
spent most days trolling up to a spot i found about 5 kms up the west side of dirk hartog the lures were never in the water for more than a few seconds and you were on to either shark macks northern blues or YFT once we had enough of them which is hard to do we would hit the bottom , wham baldy central 7 kilos was the biggest for the week (which went to josh with his 68 cm bus) with the average being 5 kilos my biggest was 65cm at 6.5 kgs
it was hard to get past the baldys but every now and then we would hit the snapper and i was happy to get my pb snapper of 67 cm there was plenty of red troat and spangles aswell
but a think the highlight of the trip would have to be the 100 odd humpback (i think) whales that played for hours every day just meters from the boat at one stage we would have had 15 around the boat and you could even hear the whales trough the hull of the boat
definatly going to be hard to beat

right click on the photo ---> rename ----> then delete only the psp and type jpg. So file name would be something like photo.jpg

I wouldn't consider not
I wouldn't consider not being able to get past the baldies such a bad problem to have.
You got a PB pinkie on the trip as well as the baldies anyways, so looks like you got past them a few times at least.
Sounds like one of those magic trips out you wont forget any time soon.
