Johnray,

We were at Steep Point in mid January this year. Paul, the ranger, mentioned that the Leeuwin current was not very warm this year. The spanish mackerel were there, as were the tuna, but their average size was down (most about 9-11kg). We fished for 4 days, and took some time for a swim each day (during which time other camps caught fish) and we ended up with 4 mackerel, 2 decent pink snapper, some tuna and a buff bream (woohoo!). We also hooked more (including a big Yellowtail King we lost at the gaff.) We had one ballooning rig and we had 3 spinning outfits fishing sporadically.  

The other camps did well, too. A big Yellowfin Tuna, plenty of Mackerel and some reefies (including baldchin) from the rocks.

Hope this was of some help.

Hey mate,

We in Steep Mid January and did OK. Macks were slow only got a couple spaniards spinning, but plenty of shark macks to play with aswell.

We mainly freedived, and did really well.

Balloons got majority of the fish, but we didn't balloon.

Thanks Guys, (except Justine who can GGF, the count is Tailor one to Dhufish three). I"ve fished Steep for nearly twenty years and have bagged out plenty of times, my objective these days is for the overall experience and getting my 14 year old son to hook up on spin gear an outfish Rig...Steep Point virgin!!!

thats alright ray, you just keep playing around with your small fry, i'll just get a couple more "horse" tailor and sit bick watching you cast repeatedly for nil while i have a nice cold shandy.
