Monkey Mia
Hey guys,
Will be heading up the denham over the 2nd week of school holidays and its my first time up there so just after some general info on whats are the things to watch out for regarding weather. I will be taking a 7.5m boat up. Have done some research and most says its not the best time of the year weather wise, (not leaving the boat behind)
Just after some general info regarding things to look out for when the winds are up etc
Planning to do most of the fishing out of monkey mia ive done some research and some guys are saying its more sheltered on the monkey mia side? can some one confirm this? as i will be taking up my little 3year boy and the missus.
Which side do guys prefer to fish monkey mia or denham ie wind directions etc. obviously if its to windy the boat stays on the land.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
TIA Justin

I have found Denham good for
I have found Denham good for me. Having a big boat you could head up to turtle bay or steep point if weather is permitting, u can hook fish off a life time up that way can't wait until the old man moves into his house up there next month I will be doing a lot off visiting. As for monkey Mia side Randall nose his stuff give him a message.

Doubt youll have too much of
Doubt youll have too much of an issue in 7.5 m boat. Over the monkey mia side the wind wave can get very close and steep when the tides is going in the opposite direction. This is far more prominent in the deep channels. Over the shalliw banks it is quite calm. Just make sure you have enough depth under the boat. Having said that you wont catch fish in the shallows.
Pm me for a few tips on where to head to.
Fish! HARD!

you can nearly always find
you can nearly always find shelter around monkey mia, and in a 7.5 meter boat it should not be a worry. The channels straight out from the boat ramp heading towards faure island are ussually protected. Denhnam side is more weather dependant though.
