Murion islands

Hello fellow fishing addicts,

I will be traveling to exmouth early next year, (towing a boat) and was thinking
about taking a trip out to the murion islands.
Has anyone been to the islands and is it worth the trip?
Is there anything different to catch at the islands than what you can get locally,
say at tantabiddi or in the gulf?
Thanks

Muiron Islands

We were up there several months ago.

Headed out from Emouth Marina and it's a good 45 minute ride out to the closest Island (depending on how it blows)...

It's an awesome spot and plentiful...

It's interesting how the currents, winds and swell play with your boat ride as the gulf is continually filling or emptying its basin around a felly sharp cape, coupled with some swell and a blow-it's a bit of fun!

Once you're out there, it seems to lull off beautifully! Some nice lumps approx. 1Nm west of the closest Island . Also great for trawling if you want a few Spaniards too.

Damn long drive for 10 days, but an excellent place to be nonetheless.

The fishing tackle shop (I think it's Bluewater) up there has some great people that owner/operate it and almost fall over themselves to assist-I had a good experience with them and can highly recommend!

Good luck and enjoy!

i just got back from exmouth

i just got back from exmouth end of august. went to the murions 3 times. lucky on 2 trips coz we had glass off. the 3rd was rough but could find shelter on the other side of the island. beware of the no fishing zones around the island, i was catching things like rankin cod, red emps ,blue line,tuna,macks,trevally,coral trout, snappers,jobs and even seen a saily smash our teaser. so yeah its about the same as you would catch anywhere else but the further you go the better it gets. make sure you check the weather coz its a long way back. but yeah do the trip at least once
