Fishing North Western Australia?

[Tunzafun]

Can anyone give me some guidance?

I am looking at putting together a fishing trip in North WA for 6-8 mates. Have never been to this side of Australia before but are keen to have a look and a fish. I am looking for a 'fishing camp' type setup but my options are open. Need to fly in/fly out and a one week duration. Hoping for Jul-Sep 09 and planning (and saving) now.

Accomodation can be as basic as tents or in a resort as long as the fishing is good and varied. Would like to do beach, boat, offshore and river. Anywhere north of Exmouth is fine.

Has anyone been on something like this or know of anything that is available. If so, please email me at r.jclark@bigpond.net.au

Cheers

Hey Tunza,

These few would be worth considering . The Monte Bello Islands are an awesome fishing destination that offer plenty of variety. The dampier archipelgo houseboat would require you to be more self sufficient but the guys who hire it out would give some pointers on the area.

No guarantees on what these operators are like but I know the location is a great place to fish. You could also find out some more info from the local tourist bureau:

If you were after a pure extended barra fishing trip it would be hard to go past Mackas Barra Camp on the Ord River.

Hope this helps. I used to live over that way and if I was to pick one location then the Monte Bellos would be high on the list.
