Stax

I took this photo in 2005 whilst fishing at Steep Point. Still can't believe I got this shot.

Only a little website, but worth a look Steep Point Non commercial website, run by local fishermen. Stax

Should be easier to find now Jonno.

'is the hat obligitory" In March (summer here) the temps can reach 45C (110F) and sunburn becomes a real problem. Loads of suncream and a hat is a requirement. There is no shade, no hiding from the sun that rises at 5am and sets at 8pm. The temp was still about 37C (100F) at 11pm. Drinking lots of fluid is aslo required, about 6-8 pints of sports drinks per day.

It is Steep Point, the western most part of mainland Australia. Sailfish and Marlin have been caught from the rocks here. Plenty of Sailfish, 10-20 per year hooked up, Marlin not so much but they have been caught with more hooked and lost. The front Spanish Mackeral is hooked and the rear one just following. This is a Samson fish, so named because of its fighting prowess. And thats me! Heres a better view of John struggling to keep control of a 40lb plus Spanish Mackeral Some more of the fish infested coastline The agility of a mountain goat is required to get here, but we'll get there on our next trip. And my most famous and favourite picture, its appeared in numerous mags and on National Geo's website and has been downloaded from our website over 25,000 times. These whales were only 10 feet from the rocks and I could have easily jumped on its back. Its a Humpback and her calf. See you again soon Stax

G'day guys. Stax calling form Perth Western Australia. Formaly from Plymouth and having fished many many times out in a boat from there and plenty of times from various rocky out crops in Cornwall, I thought I would share with you the fishing we do here in Western Australia. We fish from the top of this cliff. Here's John and he is actually fishing This is a Narrowbanded Spanish Mackeral caught from the rocks, its only about 6 metres up from here. John again with a Snapper (closly related to the Red Bream, but bigger) This is a favourite spot for fish to get you to sit as they try and make there way out to sea. If this post works Ok, I'll post some more pictures Stax
