15/4/14 Expectations were low after yesterday's unsuccessful fishing as the 6 of us headed out in our boat. At least we felt better informed about the tides. As we approached the "aircraft carrier" at the entrance, the lures were set and within a couple of minutes Pete's gold deep diver had a hookup. The resulting run was a welcome change from yesterday, as was the sight of a good sized Queenfish as it lept from the water. Stelleen did a good job netting Pete's...

14/5/14 Pete and I went for an early morning drive to the boat ramp to try and get some info on the tides around here. We were advised that Cape Keraudren was about 20 to 30 minutes different to Pt Headland so we headed into Pardoo Roadhouse some 15km away to collect a Pt Headland tide book and some ice.

This combined with a bit of shopping meant we left Karratha later than planned and hence the late arrival at De Grey. This Free Campin...

For our last night we returned to Pinocchios for another night with great food and our own esky of drinks. May 11 Left a little later than we thought but were enjoying the drive from Exmouth to Karratha through the rain soaked Pilbara country side when we came across quit...

Just had two days of good weather and with Willy Weather warning us this could be the end of it for a while we planned two days of solid fishing. Day one coincided with Pete's birthday so after a night in town at Pinocchios Restaurant to celebrate, we decided the birthday boys best present would be to land a billfish. Consequently after a relatively early start at Tantabiddy we spent about 5 hours trolling the strike zone that had produced our other billfish. It ...
