Hey are you staying at Pepperment Grove Echo park or something there is a little river really little but it goes quite a bit up river. i managed to catch 1.2kg Black Bream in there at a little spot i found ;) but there is lots of red perch their too. Im not sure if this is right but their are some locals (aboriginals) and they welcome hand feed big stingrays like really nig stingrays, so try avoid chasing sharks etc. as you may catch one of the stingrays and i dnt think they will be too happy about it.

Have a Great time down there and all those little streams you cross, give them ago imagine whats living in there....

you in a boat hangers ? plenty of sambo's on the  reef and heaps of herring and skippy if you burly up

Might even find a few crays if you go for a dive too.

Cheers
Dale

mate go straight out from the water towers, or even better the swimming platform,

5m max, crays everywhere, u can shore dive there also for crays but further south towards forrest is better, do u have a tinnie or a boat?

good landbased fishing there evenings for tailor , loads of them there, 

thanks guys ,yeah i will be landbased so after tailor and stuff,any know of any salmon up there yet or is it too early?

Im pretty sure youd get the odd mullaway there to if you were fishing at night/evening with a tailor rig.

I think it might still be too early for Salmon, but you just never know. Yes Tailor are often about and Mullas in the dark hours. Plenty of Herring, Skippy and Sand Whiting as well.

Yep! all along that coast you have to contend with Stingrays as well.

Some very good fishing for top species offshore from there also.

I'm stayin at Peppy Grove Beach over easter and i'll have the kayak with me, so i might have to scope out a couple of those streams you were talking about Diehard haha.

Last year i was down in Pemberton and cleaned up on Redfin with those scented Gladiator Smashbait SP's (red with cream tail) out of Big Brook Dam. I think use the same placcies this time in the Capel.

 Feral, roughly how far out is this reef you were talking about? Do you reckon it's kayakable?

Heading down there this week..(without the boat) - does anybody know how far you would have to go out to drop the cray pots? - and any good areas for fishing?

First time on the site.. but looks good!!

Hi ozhogg, there is plenty of reef all along the stretch you'll be. generally we call the area north of the Capel River mouth as the 'Huts' and if you have a 4WD you will see all the reef right up to the beach. Not sure if the crays are in close yet, but you can certainly snorkel out for them or throw a pot off them.

Think about catching up with a few more members as it's Damo6230's farewell comp. this weekend and the weather at this stage is looking ok. See FW front page. Even if you don't have your boat, it is still a good opportunity to meet some members.
