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

I would say winter time for the best fishing, but there may be incessant strong Easterlies. It really is hit and miss with Pilbara weather from May / June onwards.

Land based there will be one
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!
I would prefer neap tides if I was going to tackle the creek fishing

Either March to before the end of April or after August say September to mid October for my money with the tides heading towards neaps say start 5 or 6 days before neap day to get a mixture of what the area has to offer. Still bazzas around these times and cool enough at night.

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 ?
