Peaceful bay the Story

Headed south for Peaceful Bay from Geralton several days before xmas, arrived at Peaceful to enjoy several weeks fishing with my younger brother and a few mates. After several days of rough weather we made it out into the bay and fished water just outside the point heading towards rams head. The sounder was alive with images of fish and the ground was all over the place ranging from 28 to 45m within several hundred metres. each drift produced fish with the species list increasing with every fish landed. The excitement of the first day was a Mako which decided to take a drift bait and deciding it was a plane spending more time in the air than the water. At around two metres we were glad to see it bite through the trace and head into the distance. each day out in the bay produced excellent fish and when the wind was in we fished the inlet catching some outstanding KGs and other estuary species. afternoons were spent diving for abs before retiring to the camp to relax with a few beers.

Think I will be heading down that way again next year.

and I love it to bits. I have a few red snapper spots if you head directly out (or near enough) from rame head, but from the depths you mentioned you where there or thereabouts by the sounds of it.

 

Those offshore conditions do get pretty hairy pretty quickly though!
