Hey there Team, 

We have spent the last few weeks camping along the great southern and have been camping at spots we'd always just driven past or never had the time to check out. 

Below is a day recently as we had a unplanned stay at Bremer Bay to wait for a part for our caravan. Not a bad place to be stuck at for a week!! Had Bremer Bay Brewery down the road and the Tavern was even closer! We had a few stormy days first which I floated around in the bay in my dinghy trying to find these monster Bremer Bay Squid but only managed 1 semi decent one which was enough for a feed for me and the misso.

Days turned better and the wind swung around in our favour to start exploring the beaches out of town. We spent the first day at Fosters Beach and tried a few spots and gutters, managed a couple of decent flathead on bait and the herring were thick so that was lunch and dinner sorted again. Track in and out is so so, if your precious on your paintwork of the 4wd i'd advise to suggest taking your mates car (which we found is a common scenario on most of the tracks down here)! Ha 

Next Day we headed to Reef Beach which was a little further out of town on the reccomendation of my neighbour in the caravan park who was also a keen fisho, so we headed there and drove in. Similar track in, free pinstriping haha. Just before driving onto the beach on top of the hill your first glimps at the ocean i actually said "wow" out loud, what a unreal beach (jump on google maps and you'll see, even has 2 salmon schools in the gutters!) so we drive down and straight up my wife Kel spots a salmon school just past the waves, I jump out and grab my rod with a 55g Samiki Lure and have to get chest deep to get a hook-up (pictured below) and catch my first salmon of many for the day. 

We waited around for more schools, caught a couple more flathead on baits and then a couple of hours later a few more schools came in close further up the beach, came in close and in between the reef and beach. Could catch salmon till your arms didn't work anymore! 

I don't usually keep salmon to eat unless the old man was with me with the smoker but 1 swallowed the lure that bad it couldn't be released so we blead it chopped it up for lunch and was pretty good with a bit of seasoning fried up with some fresh bread! 

- Bottom photo is a few days later at Mermaid Point near Cheynes Beach (even crappier track in than Bremer bay beaches but well worth the extra pinstriping!) , Misso got some great drone footage of this school as I was climbing down the cliff and managed to get into a few until a Bronzy came in and scattered the school.

We'll have it all on some episodes coming up on OldMate Adventures - YouTube, as we Trek up and down the West Coast these days semi retired at 40, we sold up everything for life on the road with our old 88 Viscount caravan and Trekking and Fishing has become a our way of life. 6 months in and absolutly loving it.
