Easter weekend at Kalbarri
Submitted by rusty lock on Mon, 2007-04-09 17:13
Hi Guys just returned from Kalbarri,sadly not much happening fish wise up there (for me anyway). I put about 2 to 3 hours a day of good solid trawling for mac's and tuna over the 3 days I was there and only one tuna landed with about 2 good strikes what i thought could have been a mac.
There were no signs of tuna on the surface feeding either. Each day I must have seen 15 to 20 boats trawling up and down nobody seemed to have much luck.
I did try for tailor at whitekara creek for one night but no luck, a local told me he did well tuesday and wednesday night but since then nothing.
It was still good to get away and give it a go, now im really hanging out for Dirkhatog in a month.

Bad Luck
Bit of bad luck there Rusty. Sure Dirk Hartog will turn it on for you thou!! The water temperature has been down a little bit here in Exmouth and the mackies have dried up a little bit. Still heaps of tuna and baitfish about thou.

same thing
got back from kalbarri last night,fished the first 3 days for 3 fish,before a fellow fisher put me in the right direction,half way to the abrolas,4 of us fished for a couple of hours and landed 12 red throut emperor nice size alot bigger than last year,then the old man put a hook threw his finger so we had to head back and get him to the doc.
hey rusty lock a few guys were gettin some big yellow fin in the last couple of days trolling down the cliffs,they released 3 and brought 1 back to camp about 30 kg.
