Reefs near Denham

Gedday all
I know there has been plenty of questions on Shark Bay in the past but we are heading there shortly and have been told that there is a reef on the west side of Denham Sound?? We have been there a few times and always caught fish around the markers and on Monkey Mia side, usual Pink and Black snapper and macks but I wouldnt mind trying (if there is a reef) for a few of the reefy variety. I believe the only other options for reef are a fair way out ie turtle bay or Steep Point.
Does anyone have any clues??
Thanks

Bar flats is reefy, about
Bar flats is reefy, about 10nm wnw of denham. But it's shallow and has been hammered over the years. There's a shoal at the tip of the cape that could be worth taking a look at, but if you're going to steam all the way up there you may as well head over to turtle bay

Northern tip of Dirk Hartog
Deep, reefy, strong current lines and upwellings, masses of fish IF you can stop them - sounder resembled "sounder porn" but never did stop a single fish on relatively light gear - if you get the conditions really worth a look
