40 Mile | Gnoorea | Mooring Fishing | Caravan Hot Spot

In this episode, Eden, and I, venture down to one of our local natural boat ramps, nearby to Karratha, Western Australia, to spend our New Years Eve!

40-Mile Beach, or Gnoorea Point, is a destination popular with caravans and campers throughout the cooler winter months in the Pilbara, but equally, it fishes well year 'round!

Launching the 420 Dory at the crack of dawn, we head out on an outgoing tide to try our luck on a mooring that we'd crossed paths with a week prior, but we did not having any fishing rods on board at that time to really see what it was about.

Since beginning my spearfishing journey at the start of 2022, this was only my second time in the year with a fishing rod in my hand, and aiming to NOT jump into the water.

I'd been promising Eden that we'd have a dedicated fishing day since the day we met, so this day was to be just that. Much to her credit, she is a better fisherman than I!

We find many great fish throughout the morning, targeting mostly pelagic fish such as Giant Trevally, Spanish Mackerel, and Cobia. Much to our delight, a few nice demersal species such as Rankin Cod, Red Emperor, and Black Spot Cod find their way onto the deck too!

The story tells itself throughout the course of the video, so we hope you enjoy, and I look forward to sharing more adventures throughout 2023.

Thanks for watching, and happy new year!
