West Cape Howe
Hi Guys.
Anybody got any website links to the tracks and fishing spots in West Cape Howe???
OR pics from fishing expaditions down there.
Particularly interested in "The Steps"
Precious little turns up on Google.
Have been told about great fishing at the steps over the last 5 years.I last went to Albany 2 years ago,it was on the cards to fish there but ended up having to rescue a workmates vehicle from Bornholme on the day the weather was best to fish there,after that we got the normal south coast crappy weather.
The same said ex workmate has been fishing there with another workmate,a few weeks ago and last weekend,they managed a Queenie last weekend(the pair of them couldnt manage to buy a fish in a fish mongers emporioum!!!!)
Would like any info,Im ready to visit the south coast again.

The Steps is a great spot
The Steps is a great spot mate. Fished there a bit myself over the years when the conditions allow. Just make sure you know what the swell and tide is doing and have a good look at where you'll be fishing before you step out on the rocks as they can get slippery when wet.
Have caught plenty of bonito and salmon off there in the past and seen my old man land a solid sambo and nice queenie before. Heard of a few kingies and sambos being landed there over the years. Nice deep water but can steal a few of your rigs.

The steps is a good spot to
The steps is a good spot to get started, relatively safe in the right conditions and although it cops a flogging it does produce good fish, make sure your fishing it in no larger than a 2 meter S/SW/W swell and Easterlies are the best wind especially if your into ballooning...
The last big king I landed was from the above spot... ;)
