The montebells are MUCH MUCH better. I spent 10 days at the monte's (not that expensive really) and wouldnt hesitate to do it again. We had pretty much unfishable wind EVERY morning but the arvo's were magic! Cant say the same about the mac's. They have been hammered over the years. Its certainly much cheaper than chasing Marlin in Cairns lolRowleys is my Australian #1 destination if anyone wants to organise a trip. im 110% in. Im getting the feeling im not well liked as I tried to organise a trip to Xmas island or PNG this year but no one want to go LOL Hence why im taking my mrs to the nurburgring. Shes got no say in the matter LOLWhen I was in Cairns, we were talking about big game spots, Exmouth is unreal due to location of the shelf and the warm water but Abrolis are tipped to become a meccaGood to see someone getting into the local macs Hooking and loosing them is still better than no hooking them hehe! We went out wide early january but temps were still a bit low. Edited 23/02/08 02:25 AM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cplagz Member 19 Member For: 16y 2m 29d Posted 26/02/08 06:01 AM Share Posted 26/02/08 06:01 AM Exmouth has great fishing but you can get hammered by the swells and wind once your outside the protection of Ningaloo reef.Broome is very good if you like macks, sails, big groper, sharks and my favourite.... barra!Perth is dead...my old man might be heading out this weekend for the Blue Marlin Classic (Freo Sailing Club comp), but there's f*ckall fish out at the trench/FADs... as usual.I'd get out to fish more but everytime the boats goin out there seems to be swell around to surf or its flat enough to wakeboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will hang between Kalbarri and Exmouth and move around in search of swell (1st priority) and fish (2nd). Can't wait to get away from work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get a mod to give hiddeous access to edit these threads as Stevo and Allan have been in hiding and I'm too much of a joker (and a**hole) to have even mild mod powers!
