Shark Bay Coral Trout

 Hi Guys,

Another couple of weeks and we are heading up to Shark Bay for the Annual trip. I have only ever caught one trout and one red up there but would really like some advice on how to better my chances. I do understand that they inhabit completely different areas, but was hoping for some useful tips and general areas (not too general please) to look for these tasty critters.

 Me and brother in law are heading up also in 3 weeks can't wait. But as for spots we do well for coral trout, rankin cod ,blue bone and we got 2 60cm red emperor in the shallows earlier this year, 6m to 10m depth from louisa bay to the top off coral bay is good fishing, just look for the coral Bombies there crap loads of them. Good luck.
