why not try
long point the northern side is sheltered to a degree and there have been a few tailor around as well as bulk loads of herring
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

Naturaliste
Take the drive and head down to Cape Naturaliste and fish just to the right of the point. With a bit of extra line you might get a balloon out that will be visible from Bunbury!!
Seriously there are some good spots down there that are protected from winds from the SE-S-SW that produce tailor, herring, sambos and even tuna

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

You can bet the moles will
You can bet the moles will be packed with snapper fishos, there were heaps of them down there when i went to have a fish for tailor few nights ago.

Thats what i thought , but
Thats what i thought , but they were least 5 of them with big rods out hogging the tip area and some people catching undersized tailor and keeping it, reckon one guy would have got at least 20 before i left the place.

Yeah maybe, but even though
Yeah maybe, but even though if they were targeting illegal species not much can be done about it because they can just say they are fishing for legal fish.

Well, I recon if ya see someone taking undersized fish, it is our duty to bloody well dob em in.....would not normally condone this, but we are talking about the future of the fish resource, and there are a lot of meat heads doing the wrong thing. Screw em.

One of the nights i was there, there was a guy calling the ranger about undersize fish, but i was there for 2hrs no one rocked up and the guys left already, which kinda blows.

you just walk up to see how
you just walk up to see how they are going and trip over their bucket, oooooppppsssss sorry i slipped .
Cant believe in this day and age with all the restrictions and all the talk that goes on about the sizes of diff species there are still some out there that dont give a hoot.
your best bet from memory you should try the tip of the north mole facing scarb's. at least you wont be casting directly into it

I was thinkin of heading to lancelin tonight. fish just north of town. Although the wind is up the outer reefs stop all the swell allowing you to fish in most condition

Long Point
With these southerly winds just find a place that faces north, be it rocks or a section of beach. Google maps will help.
I fished the Northern side of Long Point last night, there were a few herring and tailor about. Ended up with 3 tailor of 34cm+ and a couple of herring. Hordes of trumpeters around though.
