Kalbarri land based
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-04-09 08:57
Hi guys,
I am going up to Kalbarri for the first time with the family in a campervan early next week.
Not much space to sneak a big rod with, but can take a 9 foot 2 piece with a medium size reel and limited tackle.
Any suggestions where I could sneak off for an early morning or late arvo fish?
Can rent a boat, but don't know the area at all - river mouth any good?
What species are best to target up there?

River mouth (chinamans) with
River mouth (chinamans) with Poppers the 135 Rosters go alright, or the similar sized R2S Dumbells
TAILOR & MULLOWAY your best bet
Even bait cast mulies into the white wash and wind back in slowly, last time I was up there this little south african guy got a 4.5kg tailor it was pretty FRICKIN BIG!!
Ive only fished there once

Dont be too disapointed if you dont do to well mate...
Good friend of mine lives there, reckons land based fishing there has gone to the crapper, its an easy day distance from perth and had a good reputation for fantastic fishing so it gets hammered, if you get out in a boat its another story, might be worth doing a charter?
Hope you do really well mate.
Goooooone Fishin!

G'day Dave
Chinamens is doing ok at the moment for tailor and the occasional mulloway. Blueholes and Wittacarra are doing better and there is alot more elbow room. Town is filling up at a rapid rate so be prepared to share the beaches with the hordes. I've got a spare beach rod you can borrow if you need while you're up here. Just let me know if you want it.
Cheers Mick
