Submitted by randall df223 on Mon, 2014-04-28 19:49
Anyone else at steep point 11 may - 17 may?
We will be at Lombardo's camp. I know, it's tough but someone has to do it.
If you are there come and say hello.

Have you got a go pro? We
Have you got a go pro? We got some good underwater footage of the big bronzes having a feed when we ditched the carcasses in the passage late afternoon. Without even dropping one in the water three decent size sharks come to the boat within 12 secs of stopping.

I've done that Randall, we stayed at blackies 2 years back (killer camp). Same thing with the whalers, as soon as we stopped they surrounded us. Here's the footage, haha don't mind the big humpback whale at the start of the footage ;)

I have watched that several more times today. That's great to be so close to a magnificent creature, and soooooo scary to be so close to big bitey teeth. I know how big those whalers are! Liked the commentary.

We'll hopefully be fishing!
We'll hopefully be fishing! Do you know what camp you are at? We have seven people but only room for six on two boats so we'll always have one person at or near the camp. We are at Lombardo's which is about the middle of the bay near to where the barge goes across to dhi.

not 100% sure. we go to
not 100% sure. we go to monkey mia every year and troll up that way. not quite as far, so I have never been to herald bight. I would launch at monkey mia and have vehicles drive up. must remember pink snapper season is closed there atm, but you are close to peron where there is good bottom fishing. logistically I think it is easy than steep point, close to fuel etc at monkey mia. close to shopping if need be at Denham. downside is the fishing isn't going to be as good. there are other camps. someone here (on FW) recently posted a report about gregories, which is further north and on the Denham side (no pink snapper closure). probably worth a read???
