All the way along the coast there are rock vantage points and the clearest water you will ever see, so just look for them and sight cast them, they are easy to spot in that crystal clear water from the rocks.

But there are many better species to target there ;) .
Thanks for the infos vidokin but where exactly is the south coast, are you talking about south of Albany?
What other species are they so i can prepare my set ups, rigs and baits?


cheers

You can't really go any further south than Albany ;)
Yeah I was talking about the whole southern coastline including Albany
samson fish, kingies, mulloway, sharks just to name a few.
Its a fishermans paradise, I'd suggest talking to some locals, tackle shop etc
There's a hell of a lot of little bays and rock platforms around so there is always places to get shelter from the wind too.

Are you sure you're not coming :) ?.. Any tips before i go you people are the master Gurus. I'm only good in bait soaking
but keen to learn to spin. I hope i can give a good result to share in the forum when i'm back.

Just returned from my Albany's Salmon hole trip and i can assure you guys 7-10kg+ Salmon exists.
our group caught 12 in just an hour or so. Just caught 2 myself and it was an amazing experience
thanks to Carl and Vidokin:
