truly the flies are not to bad, try washing your face when you get out of bed, cheers Don.

Can't see the pics I assume the OP uploaded for some reason.

But the mention of Rankin Cod reminded me of the Murion Islands just north of Exmouth.

Stopped in there for a dive once when I was taking a boat from Broome to Fremantle.

There were tons of fish just off the islands in about 20 meters of water including loads of Rankin Cod.

Good to see such a healthy population in the wild.

So many great fishing opportunities along that stretch of coast.

You guys in OZ have fantastic fishing opportunities and some great paces for shore angling and boat angling.   It's such a huge country that some spots are hard/expensive to get to, regardless from where you start.   We usually use Adelaide as a base (my sister in law lives there) and its a huge expedition to get to Carnarvon.    I have not fished on the East coast but believe above Sydney is just as good.

Here fishing has become very limited, too many anglers for a small coastline and everything just gets killed.
