Experience the WA-North West’s winter fishing from June to August, with cooler waters bringing a mix of pelagic and demersal species to the region. Target prized fish in the Exmouth Gulf, Montebello Islands, and the Kimberley coast.
Pack heavy-duty rods and reels for long-distance casting, especially if targeting pelagic species. Kayak anglers should prepare for heat, wind, and long beach access routes.
