shark bay flats fishing
Submitted by Ethan on Tue, 2009-06-30 18:40.
hello every one going up to shark bay in a few days and looking for some info on the flats fishing up there i will be shore based so im looking at a place where i can do some wading while flicking lures i was looking at chaseing flathead and yellowfin whiting mostly but i wouldnt mind getting into some yellowfin bream and tailor or even pink snapper.
also what lures would you use up there fishing the flats in mind (soft plastics hardbodys).
cheers Ethan

5 inch jerkshads, 3 inch minnows and 3 inch paddletail snapbacks will cover just about any fish you will encounter there

was up there 2 years ago..
was up there 2 years ago.. and randomly came across a spot half way between Denham and Monkey Mia... on a gravel rd.... its opposite the country red dirt golf course.... follow the road and turns into a camping area.. you can see Monkey Mia resort... theres a little bay there, good for whiting and bream... sure there will b a flathead there too... it was blowing a gale at Denham around 40 - 50 knots but this little bay was completly glassed off and out of the wind... saved our stay at Denham for the day.. but dnt be afraid to talk to the locals.. especially at the tourist burearo.. they helped us out...
good luck.

Years ago when i was a little tacker, I walked the creek from little lagoon all the way out to the ocean, flicking a little laser pro45. Picked up half a dozen nice flatties and had some fun with some monster longtom. But i'm talking like 15 years ago now. Have been hearing some good spearfishing reports lately from peron peninsular if you can get yourself up there.

I always carry a Tango dancer
I fully agree with all mentioned, but a little walk the god stick like the Cultiva/Owner Tango dancer (greenish with clear bottom best) slays sometimes in the northern area. I would love to try that on Tailor in the cut.
