Che Carson:
Hi Jay,

Matt and I dubbed the south end of North Murion 100lb Point after a few days we spent on the island in 2000. We saw a fish drifting in on the swell that we called a shark because of its width and the way its pecks were sticking out, turns out it wasn't a shark but a rather large GT. I have caught GTs all over the islands both north and south, shore based and from a boat, it is extremely diverse and awesome fishing.

If you have never fished there you will have to be either very switched on or make sure there is no swell. Some spots can be quite hairy to fish when the swells up. It can be pretty full on having to surf in the boat and tangle with a ballistic G.

The boys in the shop should be able to give you some pretty sound advice. Goodluck with it, I'm thinking of heading back in July myself.

Cheers,
Che

Jay Burgess:
Thanks for the info/advice Che. Can't wait to tangle with some. The GT86 is going well by the way.

Peak Island is far enough further away from Exmouth that it doesn't get pressured. It takes some commitment to get there, even with a spell of good weather; 72km round trip as I recall it. I've done it in a 12-footer, so some people say I should be committed. Also fished it with Kenzaburo Fukui for a Japanese TV show. He was enthused, got lots of fish from the shore in daylight, but it can only be done in times of low swell. Big queenies there too. Good area for sails, would be nice to have a big enough boat to reside out there for a week.

But when it's going off, the Oysters in the first couple of hours after an evening high tide can be as good as anywhere, and it's shore-based too, so you get full points.



Che' and Matt, on The Oysters.
