Another quiet month due to the demersal ban that finishes on the 15th December. There are plenty of fish out there as those that have been fishing report having to release lots of snapper, dhufish, coral trout and the likes. The cray season opened on the 15th October but most anglers wait until the “whites” start to move usually after the full moon in December.
Best Times to go Fishing in Kalbarri?
Tuna – Feb/March
Mackerel – March to May
Dhuies – June/July
Snapper – Any month except 15th October to
15th December
Tailor and mulloway – September-November
Crayfishing – December for the “whites”
Best weather for boating – April to June (no wind)

Best month of all to get the
most out of it all - May (The boats are very
busy then)

Motor upgrades
My brand spanking new
115hp 4-stroke Yamaha fitted to the 6.1m boat.
The old motor was
getting long in the tooth, so to avoid trouble and potential break downs I
repowered for you.
The 7.8m boat is
currently in Geraldton getting two brand new 115hp 4-stroke motors fitted as
well.

Fishing in Mozambique!
I get sent photos now
and again from a South African his mate’s fishing successes Africa.
Some of the fish
landed are quite extraordinary such as big giant herring, strange trevally etc.
How big was the shark
that took a bite from this shark!
This is on Bazaruto Island
just off Mozambique, Google map above,
and they hire a fishing vehicle to
access the 4km long sand spit
that you can see on the extreme north west of the island. It drops into deep
water and the fishing is
quite good they say!
They said the highlight
was about a 30kg black marlin trying to eat a small spoon on the sand island.
It followed the spoon into a metre of water twice and ate the spoon, but they couldn't set the hook.

me the variety of fish that come out of the Murchison River.
This big-eye trevally
though common in small sizes are not often caught when they get this size.
