Submitted by SamC on Fri, 2009-01-16 19:56
Gday All,
Just got back from Steep, had a ball...
Even though the fish weren't firing like they usually do we still got plenty of macks, baldies/parrot fish, coral trout, spangos and some nice jumbos
macks ranging from 8-13kg..
biggest cray went 140mm carapace
Cheers
Sam

Awesome fish
Hello Sam
Great fish, dont s'pose you could give me half a clue as to where and how, as I am a pommie and am coming over in august for a couple of weeks driving from perth to broome. Would dearly lovbe to catch even something similar to that...any tips would be ace.
Cheers mate

Thanks guys
John, sorry about not getting those leadheads off you mate...by the time i was getting everything ready on the 27th i had realised that you had gone to Malaysia, sorry again mate i hope you had a ball over there...
Rayman, Steep Point is situated ~800km from perth...you need a good 4x4 to get there as the track is pretty boggy in some parts.
Mainly balloon and spinning for spaniards up there off the cliffs, get some wire and a assortment of diving and bibless minnows.
Baits off the cliffs in the arvo/night will get spangled emperor and pink snapper but i was mainly in it for the spaniards
Cheers,
Sam

Nice fish and great cray's too. I think you can forget about that spot Roger without a 4wd, need to be really really prepared to go in there as its rather remote.

Great fishing there mate. My future brother in law just got back a couple of weeks back and got heaps of macks and some big tuna. Were there many people up there?
