I know there's this Tinny Challenge on Saturday evening with SnappaDan, but was curious as to if anyone wanted to tag along on a day trip to Cervantes on Saturday day? Perhaps the larger vessels. There'll be plenty of Dhu's / Baldies to be had. Friends reports were good, especially from Baldies a week or so ago. Plan was to head out to first bank which is about 20km from launch and work the area together as a team. If not, me and goodie (Deckie) will post a solo report come sunday, as weather looks good on Saturday at this stage....*fingers crossed*. Was hoping to get Grot out with me Sunday, but weather/swell looking crap and will prob head home Saturday evening. Be good to meet a few peeps off here.

I generally use a swell 2m or below as a good value, and the swell frequency is moderate along with bugger all wind, i think it should be ok. Sunday looks crap though with increasing swells and a rough swell frequency. Edited by Spence, Jun 12 2013, 02:08 PM.

So was buying Fuel enough or do u need more mate? Day Write up! Awoke at 2.30 ready and excited for the day, grabbed a coffee from maccas and headed off from spences place. After a long drive and plenty of chatting (mainly by me) we arrived at cervanties in the darkness about 6.15. Not being too familiar with the area we decided to wait until the sun came up by heading to the local sevo and smashing some B+E toasties. (BTW possibly the only servo to have crayfish on its menu!!) As the sun rose we headed out to be greeted by choppy seas and a larger than expected swell. None the less we head out in a SW direction and started fishing some ground on the first bank. Things started slow but eventually we found the Baldies with some nice fish coming on board to make sure we did not go hungry. During this period spence was cleaning up on fish and I slacking off catching f all really. Once we had a few Baldies we decided to hunt the dhu's, no sooner than the thought had crossed our mind than spence hooks up big time! Everything screamed dhu big fat powerful runs which only come from a big daddy dhu. Unfortunately he got to live another day as he snapped spences line and made me nearly witness spence trying to beat his boat with his fist. After this i managed to nab myself some baldie and a nice BB, and then it was my turn to get into a big dhu and also my turn to lose him too! My one got back to his reef and did me big time despite my best efforts to get him out. That was really it for the day. We managed to get about 10 U/S dhus and also found hoards of hungry redthroats. Top day out really and a good adventure all the way up to Cervanties. Bloody tiring tho! |

So did it was a beach launch or does the place actually have a ramp? Only fished the beach at cervantes. |

Beach launch is why it's better fish. No access to bigger vessels or public majority. They all goto Jurien |
