Shark bay fishing at easter

i'm headin to shark bay for a week over easter with the misso and kids. although i regularly go to dirk hartog on the boat (from Denham), i havent fished around shark bay for 24+years!

 

weather permitting i'm taking my new 22ft whittley, but i'm chasin general areas and info for beach and (if the weather permits) boat fishing around the whole shark bay marine park. 

 

I know theres squid at the jetty at night, and the shallows around town used to have good sand whiting, but it'd be great for my girls to land a few good tailor from a beach/rock, or a pink or 2 from the boat. I know some of the bays on the eastern side look AMAZING, but dont know if they hold fish or not? 

 

the search function looks rooted atm so I couldnt search there, so if anyones got some pointers, fire away! pm if you want to keep it hush ;)

 

pics below are from DHI trip september last year. 

 

cheers boys,

scotto

 The bent pin normally fishes well but it may be a bit further then you want to travel you have probably driven past it on the way to Dirk hartog before. It's also a good spearing spot.

 some good fillets there.   sorry no info on Shark Bay itself but if you take the boat up the Francois Peron coast Denham side I have haerd there are some good places past the big lagoon entrance.

cheers for your info.

 

I have done some serious googling..... its a frikkn big place! lots of incredible places that look picturesque, but dont look terribly fishy. 

 

worst case scenario is its a good chance to explore, and we come back another few times to refine everything!
