holiday time..
Gday all
Its travel time, my girlfriend and i are really starting to think about having a road trip and driving up north maybe to the kimnerleys or as far as we can get...haha..we have a few limitations, like not having a 4x4..so i would like some recomendations on places to put a boat in where a normal ute can go..
there is a few places we would love to go..Exmouth...Port Headland..Geralton...Shark bay/monkey mia...If we have time get time and money get to Broome and Derby...and hopefully darwin but thats a long shot...
When does the wet season start?? any chances of cyclones etc:
Can i safely launch my boat in these areas without a 4x4?
Safest waters for a 4.9MT boat..
Any good camping spots as we tenting it all the way..
what to expect to catch through these areas...and the best way to fish these areas, bottom bash or troll lures etc:
were wanting to take 2 months or so to do it...allot of my friends are saying to get a 4x4 but if we do that'll cut our trip down allot it says us spending more cash than we have to ..any onther places that we should visit? thanks for any advice cheers chrisitan

Heads up
For a start have a look at "WA Boating Facilities"situated just to your right as you read this in "Fishwrecked Tackle Bag".Most if not all the ramps up this way can be used by 2wd vehicles with some exceptions.
Cyclones are not a great worry as you get at least 3-4 days warning and in that time you can drive to Sydney if need be.
Hope this is of some help to get your planning started

to go fishing, shark bay and
to go fishing, shark bay and monkey mia you need to either know the spots close by or you have to travel a long way, one place to try is coral bay good fishing inside the reef with plenty of spanglies and other species or if the weather is good get outside and sound around ,if your into snorkling it is an amazing place as there is awsome reef structures right off the main beech. exmouth , well you just have to look at this site and you will see what it is like. good luck on the trip, hope to see plenty of pics and stories on your way

Planning
Planning is half the fun. I'd recommend getting a copy of "North Australian Fish Finder". Plenty of reading to get you fired up. Good info on access and launching.
Cheers, Choongy

If the water came
From filling up at a servo and you can prove it then you should claim off them and recoupe all of your outlays.
