Hi All,
New to this forum, have been reading it for a while and there are some great stories and pics about. Anyhow has any body been to geographe shoals before? I'm heading up there this saturday night camping at balla balla and then out to the shoals on sunday, A mate of mine tells me stories of big reds out there. Can't wait.
Cheers

Pretty sure Bluboat was
Pretty sure Bluboat was there a couple of weeks ago. Know he was heading that way but didn't see a report.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

G Shoals
When we lived in Hedland heaps of people use to head down to geograph shoals. Yes I have seen some solid reds come back from down that way. I have also seen many reds come in from Hedland however you have to travel a fair way. Not sure if westmore island is offering accomodation but thats an awesome place if you can get in there.

Yeah options galore from Balla
Beagle reef is not to bad, plenty of macky up there as well, reef island is OK to park up at but is very shallow on the low tide.
Go Hard.

I have gone there a few times
Usaly do it in a day trip from point samson,take good bottem bouncing gear.Havent got any big reds there but chinamen rove around in packs.Turn of tide is best time.What size boat you going out in as last two times it blew up really fast and I had to scoot to westmore.Its about 40ks from balla balla still unless your going to the inside shoal which is about 30ks.
There are two types of people ,do'ers and watchers
Right now the do'ers are the doing it
And the watchers are watching us do it

Used to get a shirt loads of reds about 15nm noth of Geographe shoals,
Anchored near Beagle a few times and got good mackies when the tide was cranking by just hanging the lures out off the back of the boat letting the current do all the work. Got some niiice snout trout [long nose emperor] there as well on the bottom of the spring tides.
