Protected water or calm water
Submitted by BONO38 on Thu, 2014-08-28 09:58
Hi Guys..
planing to take fishing my grandpop and my old man in Perth. Normally I launch from ocean reef starting last year( just got my boat last yr).
It never been calm so any suggestion for a protected or calm water , please don't tell me to go to river or pond.
Is it just me or it may be true , Rockingham or Cockburn sound is more proctected compare with freemantle , hillary or ocean reef ?
My boat:
old haines hunter 5.2m with 90hp
Thanks Guys.....

Other than heading to my old
stomping ground off Dampier the only real protected waters in the ocean around perth is Coburn sound sheltering behing Garden Islands. There is a few little islands around the place that will give protection but I am not familiar with them up your way. Obviously Carnac, Rotto also provide shelter.

Rockingham(my"backyard") -
Rockingham(my"backyard") - You can have the best of both worlds down here.
If strong Easterly or Northwester,go around to Safety Bay side. Protected and calm water close in,likely to catch a feed of squid,herring,gardies,whiting-all good fun.
If strong seabeeze,launch from Palm Beach,stay in close around Mangles Bay-good squid and herring,or head over to the Causeway.Try for squid along the rockwall/weed banks.
Or head over to Garden Island(check Naval Restricted Area's). Good protected area's out of wind in the bays.
