look at the random catch the young blokes pulled off in warbro beach...crazy stuff. i hear ya with the frustration m8...just stick with ya well known spots but maybe tweak timing...they have 2 deffo b around in numbers tho..

Head to Israelite bay, 200kms east of Esperance.....thats the start of legendary landbased pinky fishing! Nothing better than catching pinkies off the beach, sitting round the campfire having a beer!! The further you head east from there...the better it gets.

Word has it that there has been quite a lot of them caught in the last 2 weeks from the Blowholes north to high rock.A couple of blokes stopping in the caravan park here were complaining they were as thick as blowies down south and that they couldn't catch anything but pinkies

wouldnt you just hate that to happen :). but i spose you can only catch so many

They only had one of those big Igloo eskies and filled it the first day after that it was all catch and release

good feed and good fun, a trip anyone could only wish for when lb fishing

Personally I dont know how land based fishos do it... dont get me wrong, its great to pull up on a beach and wet a line, but not constantly....save for a boat mate, you wont look back.

i get sea sick from boats and i have tried all myths about pills what to eat before and wrist bands and all that. that is why i had to turn to Quobba fishing to feed my addiction to the sports. but i would still love to pick up a nice pinkie or two in between trips. not many boat fishers get snapper either though. even with a boat there is alot to learn gefore you get one. and those charter fishos saw 16 people catch 3 snapper per boat.

When it comes to Quobba south wall always has pinkies, use a single hook with a ball sinker running down to it to prevent getting heaps of snags, there are heaps of other spots there which consistantly have pinkies. If you want locally it's all about wind direction in my opion try fishing on northwester or the days after has produced the most landbased captures for me and put the time in

hey mark what bait you put on the single hook and is there a time of the year which is best. is new moon a better time also? i know about south wall but the snags put me off it but ill try it your way next time im up there. by the way morning or late avo for south wall.cheers mate!

Occy,cuttley,squid or fresh fish fillet or anything that is going to stay on the hook.
Usually best around an hour before and after high tide.
Some people use 50lb mono from a swivel down to the running ball sinker and 4/0-7/0 hook

any bait will do i use mulies alot just feed the hook through the eye then through the back, you'll get them all day long found no time to be better than others, i usally only fish the bottom once i am sick of spinning one thing to remember quobba coast line is very big and alot of places aren't fished much just have to find them
