 Quite a few still out in the ocean. 

Getting better, very hit and miss but a few people have been bagging out lately. I got two on Tuesday, one on Sunday. 3 strikes , three fish.  But others got their bag straight out the front. Major problem ATM seems to be the sheer concentration of bait out there--don't know if I can remember it being that thick.  Big schools and scattered little patches, and all the fish seem to be feeding deep. You can see them rounding up the bait on the sounder, but no activity on the surface that I have seen. Water temps are up and clarity is good, finally.

 Kalbarri water stayed dirty and cold for a long time, they turned up further south before they were here.

 Not completely across it,just back from work, but I know one boat with two anglers boated 4 small mackerel, and two YFT, and lost 2 fish to sharks and was in by 8.30 this morning. Giving it a go myself tomorrow.
