Shoal Cape 2010-Plastic haven!!

 Ok so last year around November, December my Dad, Mum, Brother and his wife, Sister and I went to a remote little camping spot called Shoal cape. Its about an hours drive from the town of Esperance.  
The bay is crystal clear and has an amazing 10m drop off which you can see forms a large channel.
The large sand flats and patches of weed make awesome flathead territory and my brother and I got 3 solid(60cm+) Blue-spot Flathead in one day!!
Here's a picture of one of the smaller models that were kept for the table. Along with the numerous flatty's there was a large number of Herring around and had a "soft spot" for a Plastic.
In fact all fish were caught using Soft Plastics. Skippy were around but not to prolific.
They were usually found in conjunction with the Flathead
THE SALMON HOLE
Probably the most amazing part was catching little Salmon in a little Gutter/Hole. These fish were going crazy for a 3" Gulp! minnow.  Here's a link to a Video of mine showing how feisty they are!!
I love the way they take to the air!
