I hope you manage to get out and christen it in style. Can't help you on Leeman as never been there before.

caravan park in a dorm/chalet not flash but does the job, when u launch your boat you have to drive straight towards the little island to the last marker then cut in close and head out to the last green marker boy from there you will see some breakers to the left and right ,just head between the breakersand you should be right unles the sewll is over 3m then it breaks all the way along ,if launcing at low tide watch the weed bank 5m out from tthe jetty and try to come in on a hi tide the ramp can get pretty shallow,fishing wise most locals just fish the 15/30m drop off.  theres a few lumps about 30 ks out that fish pretty well but i usally leave the close in stuff for the locals and head out the marshall bank were its hard not to catch dhuies  but thats 60 ks nnw well worth the trip however as i have had a few times were its a dhuie every drop the hard part is finding other fish to make up your bag as the dhuies nail everthing first

 I was up there a couple of years ago with my brother and a couple of my offspring and did really well.  It was this time of the year and we bagged out each day with dhu, baldies and other quality demersals.  Each time I have been up there I have called into the sea rescue office and had a chat to them and registered the boat. We also gave them a small donation.  While there, the guys and and gals were more than happy to share the likely spots and give you the heads up on any dangerous areas to keep away from. They are keen to show you the local charts, so you have a good grasp of where the reefs are. We mainly fished around the Beagle Islands, but you must be careful if more than a two metre swell is up.  We caught most of our fish in about 14 metres and we stayed well away from the island because of the swells building in the shallower water.  Skippy of around 1 kilo were in plague proportions, but good to catch on light gear.  We tended to eat them and bring the good fillets home.  Good luck.

Plus check out the contour lines on charts, anywhere from 45m to 80m. Standard stuff use bottom zoom/lock looking for fish there not always on big drop offs.
I've had success there on Samaki Choona jigs 100g-150g. McCarthy SPs 8inch pink and baby elf 2-3oz jig heads.
Good luck.

Check it out on Stayz for accommodation. Hard to go past it.

I know the area very well, but as a land lubber can't offer up any more advice. :-)

But agree with above comments about time of year, swell and locals. April is simply the best time of year to be in the area.

Only recently (this year) installed - used to be evil with the weed build up but understand heaps better now - too dammed easy to get your bag limit in minutes though - spend more time travelling that actually fishing still it frees up drinking time.   

 thanks for all the replies fellas.... I have been looking at the Navionics app to try and create a plan of attack and I was wondering if it would be worth taking the deep drop gear? I got myself an electric setup over a year ago and still have never used it yet due to work, weather, boat issues etc but if the fishing is as good as it is supposed to be then I could spend a good bit of time sounding up the shelf with out comprimising time spent desperatly trying to hook a dhu....

 one is beach launch for small boats the other is the sea rescue which is for the bigger boats but can get choked with weed they are also building a new floating jetty ramp nearer to the little island but when i was there a few weeks ago only the driveway was done still no jetty 

The shelf is much closer than here in Perth - we have regularly fished the drop off and it is rapid and significant, around 120metres there are huge scholls of snapper so we have never ventured beyond that but do know that within a km you are in 300 metres so very acheivable - the wind being low enough and the current not piping down from the north would be the only issues   

Make sure you bring all your own booze as very expensive here in Leeman, also no fresh bread deliveries on the week end. 

As you go thru Jurien they have a new bakery and the bread/pies/pasties/cakes/breakfast and some Chinese food (morning only) yummo, also a liuqor store and IGA.

Leeman only has one service station at the moment and thats on Indian Ocean Drive, its now a Liberty and fuel is a bit cheaper.  Good food at a reasonable price is behind the Post Office, called"Snag Island Cafe" they are only open from 5.30pm till 9.00pm (cloded Monday) at the moment, but most probably will open for lunch for Easter/school holidays.

The new boat ramp is coming along, got the barge there now for the poles to be driven in but won't be ready for Easter.

Weed  is on both ramps in town but not bad.  Been a few boats out the last couple of days.

Enjoy your stay in Leeman

Appreciate the feedback and response.
