question for the waroora experts
Submitted by crano on Thu, 2015-05-28 11:04
hi I am in coral bay fishing at the moment and I was wondering what the passage is like with a bit of swell.
I was thinking about going down inside the reef and then heading out to get a more comfortable ride.
What amount of swell can you get through safely on and would someone have the coordinates please.
Thanks

I am not sure that you can
I am not sure that you can actually get down to Waroora on the inside. I've been down a fair way but then you run into shallow foul ground. I would also be interested to hear if anyone else has done this.

Cruise is correct
Tried exploring that way in my dinghy a couple of years ago and it turns shallow about half a Nautical Mile south of South passage.

yes it becomes almost impassable down there inside the reef, good tinny fishing for spangleds, trevs and of course sharks.

have been all the way down
have been all the way down in a 8m charter boat 20 years ago to do a body search, cant remember much about the run but we did get there and back again without going outside the reef

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
