SBT's!
They'd be southern bluefin and should be around until at least late autumn (April/May). I can't say that I've personally had any success with them in Geo Bay but my Mandurah experience tells me that trolling skirts/Christmas trees 8-12 knots between 4 and 10 miles offshore is as good a go as any!
I've also heard that you can get larger fish (5-10kgs) off the West Coast (between capes) and of course this area can have yellowtail kings/sambos and even yellowfin tuna/spaniards if conditions are right.

Tuna
yeah you will have most luck if you go around of the west coast. Ive never had much luck in the bay only a couple of bonito. if you troll in the 40-60m mark that will be where you will find them. At the moment there has been heaps of schools of southern blues but there all tiny. give it a month or so and the bigger ones will start to show as well as the odd yellow fin.

Bremer Bay
Hi Fellas, I will be taking off next month for WA from Vic (TG) & been told Bremer Bay is a great spot to hang out for a day or so. Just wondered if anyone has fished there & what we`re likely cook up for dinner as a result??
I`d rather be fishin`!!!
