Got upto West Moore Island for a couple of days fishing with the old man on Anzac day weekend. Left Perth airport at 8am to Port Hedland and was at the remote island fishing by 1pm!

Managed to get stuck into some fun little GTs inbetween tying dads leader knots. We were just using the tinnies supplied by the island so only stayed within a couple of k's of the island, fishing the points and channels on the rising tides. Also got stuck into the catch and release pool at low tide with 4lb bream gear - heaps of fun getting mini gts, blue bone, bream, whiting flattys all on little poppers/stick baits - also hooked a giant herring twice but spent more time in the air than in the water and spat the hooks both times. 

Theres meant to be good bottom fishing for reef species in close however we could only get small blue bones and cod around 30cms, and ended up spending most of the time chucking surface lures for the GTs that seemed to be plaguing the island. We were mainly using pretty light gear (PE1.5) as most of the GTs were 2-4kg but these guys still weant super hard for their size. Hooked a couple of unstoppables on my PE5 outfit but got busted off, ended up landing a pretty good size brassy on a laser pro with the bib removed (credit to dav-oh for getting me onto this, even the big ones still have great action and cast really well) . The Mackies hadnt fired up yet, and we saw plenty of big queenies but they werent on the chew. Had some tuna busting up one day and got a decent longtail on pe1.5.

Thanks to Fred, Action, Noel and Oni for looking after us, the island was really well run, great food, always had our beers on ice and noel even serviced one of my reels ! Will definately be going back!
