White Hills
My wife organised for me to go on a 4wd fishing trip with Bruce at Gone Fishin Safaris for my birthday yesterday.
We were taken down to Bruce's spot at White Hills and had a great day. Due to a late cancellation, there was only myself and a keen young guy on the trip and between us we caught about 30 tailor, lost count of the herring, a skippy and a whiting.
Most of the tailor were just under size, but we managed to catch enough legal ones for a feed for our families.
If you were chasing herring you could have pulled them in one after the other.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is, that White Hills is definately worth a fish for tailor at the moment and if your a herring man or woman, get down there.
Oh, and if you are like me and you don't have a 4wd and you want to go fishing with a nice guy who really knows his landbased fishing, then give Bruce a try.
Sorry, forgot to take my camera, so I can't show you any pics.
All the best Colin Hay

Yeah Ben,
Lots of good places to fish there. Bruce suggested that it wasn't one of the better days as the seabreeze wasn't really in and that you tended to get bigger fish when the wind was stronger. Also supposed to be a good spot for Mulloway. There is certainly a lot of space if you wanted to get a big group together.
All the best, Colin

Hi Abandon,
Bruce said they get a few salmon down there. There are certainly some reefy spots that would be great for chasing salmon. Just need to find someone with a good 4wd who knows what they're doing and I am sure you would have some success.
All the best, Colin Hay

If only I had a 4wd drive we could head down to White Hills and have a go at the bigger tailor.
All the best Colin

Thanks guys
Yeah, great spot. Bruce had just cooked the barbie when the fish came hard on the bite. It was still good when we got to it.
The spot we went to was probably a good possie for crays wiht the reef that was just offshore. The dolphins and a big ray were certainly interested in something.
All the best, Colin Hay
