Excellent campsite, with some shelter from sou'east round to sou'west offered by the higher ground behind, camp is tucked snugly in looking north. Site is firm ground, not sandy, with a lot of broken rock just under the surface, make sure you have sturdy tentpegs.    The track in from the Useless Loop road is OK, not much of it is corrugated.  Downside is that the water in front of the camp  is very shallow for a long way out at low tide, no chance of launching regardless of how far you can extend your drawbar. No ramp to speak of, just a broken section in the rock shelf ,packed with broken rock, to back down over, but you won't have any trouble with a 6m boat and 4wd. Some people leave their boats in the water, but the "moorings" are a collection of old scrap iron and a small engine block, not to be relied on. Bottom in close is hard flat rock. Launch and retrieve is fine from half-tide up.

Plenty of bluebone roam the area, flighty in the clear shallow water, but can be caught. The channel through the flats into the basin to the west, Depuch Loop, is a snapper hotspot on a rising tide late in the afternoon. Pinkies of all sizes are all around the place.

Have fun, we have.

 Havnt been there for a few years but here is some things that may help you.    Track in is usually pretty good just take it slow. If you want a fire collect fire wood before you get there well away from the camps. There are cows on the station and the flies can be and are usually thick.  There is a water well a kilometre or so from the camp and depending on rainfall will be anything from slightly salty to really salty we would use this for washing. Take all your drinking water with you.  Take a good anchor and moore your boat.  The water gets really cold in the estuary by may around 16 degrees i think.There isnt much ground and most fish come from the channel as mentioned or the mussel beds in close to shore or around islands.  The species of fish is limmited mainly bluebone and snapper with the odd black snapper in may.  There are many more fish species there in summer when the water warms up.  Around high tide is best for fishing and if you want to catch bigger snapper use big baits and circle hooks. We used to use butterfish which are easily caught in numbers on the weed beds.  It has just been re opened to snapper fishing as of 1st jan I think   They have put a possesion limmit of 5kgs of fillits or one days bag which isnt much and fisheries are red hot in the area so be careful as with the 5kg limmit it wont take many fish to reach it.   Oh and a good pair of thongs. The doublegees can be thick.

 last time I looked at it  2 years ago it was a slimy green stinking mess. Take all your water. And collect your firewood between the Overlander and Hamelin Pool, heaps by the road everywhere. Doublegees were present in small numbers only  mostly due to people taking the effort to pull them up and burn them. 

We usually go on the September long weekend, not a big run from Kalbarri, although last time we tried Baba Head area for a change. No flies that time of year.

Cheers for the feedback. Any pro's or cons regarding Prickly point sites as opposed to the Teatree side of things?

I plan to take a 3.5m inflatable with a 5hp Yamaha so depth wont be too much of an issue. Towing a camper means I cant take my big boat.

Cheers re the Snapper quota. 8 adults coming up and most not fish eaters (what's wrong with them...)

I stayed honeymoon bay or camp or something this june I think, water close in is almost fishless apart from tiny snapper and big flighty bluebones. id say head out towards chanel as others said or islands, plenty of squid around western tip of the peninsula that Honeymoon camp is on.

 The fishing there revolves around peak bite time. The snapper live in big schools and come into the shallow mussel beds on the top of the tide. When we were kids in the eighties these schools were acres in size.  Being left alone for so long I would say there will now be big schools again.   They are of all sizes  so big baits and circle hooks are the go. If you use normal hooks you will gut hook lots of small snapper and survival rates will be low.  We caught lots of good fish of the rocks around teatree just had to fish the tides night time and high tide.  Just dont expect many species.  The islands north of tea tree are a good place to start. 

Cheers Guys,

Booked the site last night. One of the guys may be tenting it to bring up a 7m rib so a trip around to Dirk Hartog may not be out of the question.
