These are cliffs that run alongside the continental shelf of WA, this is the closest the land gets (headland) to the deep blue. The water in the pic is probably about 50m deep in front. This is near ningaloo-exmouth. This part is just private farming land thats been turned into a tourist/local holiday destination 'Quobba station'. The mine to your left in the video is a salt mine, all private and you can't go near it. In front is Garth's Rock - made famous by Max Garth in Fishing World magazine 'Mackerel on the fly'. You can literally catch any pelagic you want off that rock: Cobia, King Mackerel, Tuna, Longtail, Sailfish, Marlin. I had a go but wrong period of day and the southerly wind was shocking - just about blow you off the rocks. Still, had little mackies chasing my lure and seen some massive shadows go past. Heaps of fun hey, wish I could have stayed fishing all day (if it weren't for the missus). It's pretty trecherous country, misses and kids scared the entire time of the cliff drop. Yeah, Australia is pretty unpopulated still plenty of vast space to roam.
If you were thinking of travel here, go to Exmouth - Ningaloo that's the centre of the action. oh, lol and Ningaloo / Exmouth area is definitely protected area. There are a few around this area that have been officially protected - Ningaloo reef, Coral Bay, Shark Bay - for various reasons.
I can't remember if I replied to one of your threads but my wife and I met in WA (Perth) and did an amazing week long trip in the "outback". We got to go to shark Bay, monkey Mia and the fern pools. Need to look on the map but it was a lot of driving. Amazingly beautiful stuff those triple trailer trucks are scary though!

If you do another trip, go in late November / early December. You usually get in just before the wind really start to blow over summer and that time of year you get the shark mackerel run, so even if you're not getting the big spaniards and tuna, you get kept busy by sharkie macks which is really good fun. They get big there too, we've caught some sharkies well over the 10kg mark.

Also, there's ways to sneak into Cape Cuvier salt... you can park up next to the boundary fence on the southern side, then walk down outside of the mining lease land. From there you make a break for the point and fish for as long as you can before you get a nice Rio Tinto employee come ask you what you're doing and can you please leave :P Usually you can get in an hour or two's fishing before you get the move along notice. If there's no salt ship in they seem to be more lenient, however I wouldn't try my luck more than once in a week trip.
 
Top of "Caves" if I'm not mistaken? Probably my favourite landbased fishing spot in WA!
Geez you're on to it! Yep, exactly. I actually missed the turn off to 'Garth's Rock' and ended up going along this crazy rock filled path. Misses didn't last long here before saying LETS GO, cos the kids were with us. Pretty scary drop there, and peeps go fishing down it too ! (crazy)

Awesome info there thanks a lot :) We went down 'The Ledge' in the car along that track down the cliffs and had a fish out front near the shipwreck.

Very sandy towards the bottom, I'm glad I had my car ! lol Others would get bogged going up that I think (possibly lose control and go off the cliff).

I was really nervous about that going back up there. Fishing was great though, had numerous small mackies chasing my lure in but no takers unfortunately.
 
Yeah there are some pretty sketchy spots there if you're not very aware of your surroundings. Defs a place where you want to pick low swell days.
Both Caves and Garths have good bottom bouncing fishing early in the morning too. To the south side of both platforms is the "least snaggy" place to cast some lead (I say least snaggy as we still usually average losing a rig every 4th cast there!). Bloody love Quobba :D

First cast off the ledge mate with a grapnel sinker pattanosta (for fishing Geraldton). Took about 30 mins to hit the bottom, then I think I got triple snagged on about 5 underwater cliffs.

Big Bear, CA this past weekend. 3 subarus, a few ford's, a jeep...all stuck, basically closed one of the trails for the day. Had to find a different trail.

Saw that wild looking tacoma flying through the trails as well.

Subarus were somewhere in the red circle d area along 2n09. 10-15 car traffic jam behind them. On that section it's basically a flat dirt road. Don't need 4wd or high clearance, I saw a Prius up there once when it was dry.

2wd Ford truck and a jeep stuck maybe 100ft from the main road. Helped recover another ford truck too (started with checking tire pressures...50psi lol).

@AN470 ah yeah, polique gets a lot of snow collection right in that area since it all collects in that area with little sun.

I love all you guys and it's cool to read about everyone's adventures but if this thread could get back to pictures of 100 series land cruisers that'd be awesome..
Seems like it's sort of evolved into something else that isn't bad but a lot of the content here the last while would fit better elsewhere.. IMO
Maybe I'm alone with these opinions.. If so I can flex or unsubscribe and no harm done.
I love to see all the cool 100s in the wild.. 👍
 
I've always seen this thread as photos/small talk. My favorite thread for sure. Never fished a day in my life but I read all that stuff a few posts above haha.
Well we are talking about he photos. Surely that's not out of context of the thread entirely :) Love you guys too.

I would have thought so too. Anyway, we'll keep the photo purists happy moving forward and keep text content low... :slap:
