lucky bay

You could try lucky bay its south of wagoe you will see the turn off on the way there.There is three spots at wagoe that you fish from the beach also on the south side other wise u can try at the mouth of the creek on the way in to kalbarri you get some good tailor and mullas there at times.

G'day Bodie

Yep things are looking pretty ordinary for this weekend. Kalbarri is only 20ks up the road or Lucky bay is 20ks back the other way. If the swell is up you can still fish the beach areas along Wagoe but be careful. The river up here is fishing well upstream. Good light gear fun. The Canoe and Cray Festival is on Sunday so if its pissing down there is always a bar and some good food. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Cheers Mick

Thanks Fellas,

Whats the track like into Lucky bay at the moment?
Ive been there once, and from memory the way we went in was over the dunes.

do any of the beaches suit winds from the North? (IE to your back?) I was told there is some rock fishing to the north of wagoe along the beach, any chance in hiding in away from the winds there??

LB are you able to give any info on how to get to the mouth of the creek? or is it pretty self explanitary?

Cheers guys

The track in to Lucky is pretty good. You can also drive up the beach from Wagoe to get there. So far as getting out of the northerlies, head south of Lucky along the beach probably about 5k's and you'll come to Shoal Point. the beach cuts right back in and the northerly is at your back. good for tailor, mulla's etc. You could try to ballon there for a mack or tuna. All the cliffs and rock ledges are no go in a northerly. I think LB is talking about the mouth of the Murchison. Bloody big creek

Cheers Mick

would be the best / quickest way be along the beach to lucky bay?

Best but not the quickest. The beach can be fairly soft but its a nice drive.  Another spot worth a try with the northerly's is south of port gregory. Turn left heading back to northhampton and there is a track to the right which leads down to the beach. That is fairly protected from the wind.

Cheers Mick

Blueholes Kalbarri worked for me last time

Was talkin about wittacarra creek not the Murch just didnt no how to spell it.also i think the hut river is facing south so would be off shore on a northly wind .I know its a small trip back but does hold good fish at times.

Hut river?? Isnt that fresh?? dont they get marron in there?

Wittacarra creek sounds good.. need to find that one.

Mainly want to target Tailor, Mullas, and snapper (Altho this could be tough if we cant get onto the rock fishing.

And obviously mackies too, but will be hard without easterlies.

Went out yesterday arvo and stocked up on bait, plenty of gardies, herring and whiting!!

Hey Bodie, i am in the same predicament as you. Am going up to Horrocks Beach Saturday morning till the following Saturday, so i only hope for the weather to turn good later on in the week. Even though i base myself at horrocks i usually go have a crack at Wagoe and the Kalbarri Cliffs. But i think with this weather report i am going to be hanging around the beachs and rocks closer to horrocks. A little more protected. The Bowes River might even get flowing, now that would be good for the Mulloway! Alternatively the Hutt River mouth or just a bit up the beach from there where the Port Gregory Reef meets the shore are great spots to try for mulloway and tailor.

The river is fresh water but where it hits the beach is were I'm on about Bodie I have fished it since I was in nappys you will see it on the left on the way if you turn off at Northhampton it curls around and faces back south there is a sign there that says no campin be warned the beach is soft as is Wagoe and Lucky Bay the swell can be a prob at the hut but I use sand sinkers the ones with the wire on them to help them hold in the swell if you fish lucky bay you will see a big main reef if you come back south about 400m at a guess you will be on a corner which they call old half way bay have done well there with fish.Wittacarra creek is on the south of kal and you will see the track in just dont try to drive across it as you will see many have to no sucsess just follow the main track to the beach if you need any more info pm me befor you come drop in i will draw you a map cheers.

hey bodie, fish are always on the chew when the wx goes round to the north so if you do come up to barri give us a buzz n we.ll go for a fish down the cliffs to a couple of spots, mite be some pinks sniffing round. either way if dont catch up have fun up this way.
ill pm me mbl to ya.tangles

fish for the future not the freezer

hey tangles, yeah that would be great. We are up friday night ,till monday afternoon.

Would be good to catch up and find some pinkies!!!

Winds have backed off a little today for the weekend, but monday looks like a cracker of a day....bummer we go home that day.

ill pm me mbl to ya m8, dont worry theres always somewhere to get a fish round here. tangles

stay home,its bad enough when weather is good let alone when its crap....there will be a million people at lucky bay also...

sorry, dont mean to sound negative, just realistic!!

say that to my missus, or my mates missus :)

Fuel = no problemo, even if there is no fishing, still good to get away for a few days.

We all work int he corporate world, so anyday away from here is a good day.

Just figure if we are going up there, may as well fish regardless of the conditions.

We fished in november last year in a 3mtr swell, any bigger and it becomes ridiculos. We found a sandy break in the reef that was big enough for 3 rods. Yeah you will get wet and if you keep your rod high and line tight you will be ok, we caught plenty of fish, we did really well at night also. The pics from that trip are posted on here. If I was you I would be out there giving it go!
