West Moore Island

 Guys,

I'm hoping to do a 5day package this year and looking for recommendations on what months would be best. Hoping to catch pelagics, bottom fish and mud crabing....abit of everything really.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

cheers

Land based there will be one side of the island with nice weather..  If you can get a tinny and cross the channel you will be fine in one of the many creeks.  might even catch a jewie or mangrove jack!

 Thanks for the suggestions guys.

CCC I'll make sure to check out your trips to get a better idea. I would like to book in the next few weeks to make sure we get a favourable week.

What's a good site to check tides up there ?
