We had teamed up with CamperAustralis to hire a tinnie from exmouth for a week! Yewww Kurt was so excited. On our fifth day in Exmouth, we picked up the tinnie (which Blaine & Shenaid towed) and headed down to Ningaloo Station. We had booked a site at Winderabandi Point, as we had heard it was protected and a nice easy beach to launch the tinnie from. The road into the station, was quite corrugated but with the right tyre pressure and driving speeds, it was fine.
It cost us $75 per couple for a week! Bloody bargain and it was dog friendly. We spent 6 nights there, out on the tinnie every day trying to land those ‘big fish’. Although we did catch some fish, it was a little disappointing that we didn’t land any monsters or get continual bites. The boys ended up catching and cooking up a cod & a trevally. Shenaid got the biggest catches straight off the beach, landing two queenies at 75cm each.
Our good mates the Roving Russo’s were also camped right next to us. Which meant lots of campfires, chitchats & card games throughout the week. We made the decision to extend the tinnie hire by a day and go try some different spots. We packed up and headed to Exmouth Gulf station for a night. We arrived at midday, and launched the tinnie straight off the beach. In the first hour on the water, Blaine landed 2 squid! We also watched a massive manta ray hover around the boat. Its wing span would of been 2 metres at least! Unfortunately no fish, just squid for dinner!
That night, both boys did some more research for our final day with the tinnie. It was decided we would launch it near Learmonth Jetty and try our luck at some local shoals. Out for a good few hours, we had many bites but no luck landing a fish. Although a little disheartened with our fishing expedition, we all learned alot! Plus we saw an abundous of sea life and whales over our 8 days on the water.
We all helped clean the tinnie and dropped it back, before heading to a van park in Exmouth for a nice hot shower and clean out.
For those interested, to hire the tinnie it cost $500 for the week. Split that between two couples and we each paid $250 for the week. Great value if you’re in the exmouth area!
Next stop Coral Bay!
