Heading to Kalbarri

Heading up on Friday. If anyone needs anything small brought up please let me know before Thursday. WE leave at sunrise on Friday.

ALSO - Anything of interest happening up there? been twice and never hooked a fish. Was kind of keen on the a charter though finances killed that idea, and the forecast of 20 knot south easterly's.

 Got a 3.5m inflatable and two kayaks so Mackies won't be on the radar. Hoping to land a chopper or ten.

Where did you stay?

 We had a house for a few nights up near red bluff.

 

Saw plenty of fish swimming around the shallows up past the marina.  Looked like tailor as they had the forked tail and were quite fast.  Could have been mullet i suppose.

 

I am sure there are some good tailor around the river mouth but you are a braver man than me to go through there in a kayak!  It was an experience in the 5m runabout!

We took my 3.95 tinny up years ago and didn't brave it. I will just be content to get the other side of the river and have a look on the beach up that way. After all, it is a family holiday with a few people who fish.

Tamala for 7 nights then onto coral bay so hopefully I beat my previous best of of 0, 2 and 0 for fish on trips up the coast.

Will be there also, heading up Friday afternoon with the missus, booked on Reefwalker Charters on Sunday and Evolution Charters the following Friday.

Towing up the tinnie, beaten up old 14 foot Stacer with a sun faded 40 Mariner on the back.

Come and say hello if you see us, Swompa.

 Staying in a house near the Blue Holes. Not leaving home until around lunchtime so expect to get up there sometime this evening. Just praying the weather gods will be kind, looking forward to the charters. Went out with Whitey on Evolution last year and did really well.
