Just a quick note to let you know that our not yet listed Frangipani (a new one! Not the one on Stokes Hughes st) is available for bookings and I still have week two of the July School Holiday available.
Three bedrooms and sleeping 5-6 maximum. Clean, loved and surrounded by gardens. Situated opposite a park, plenty of parking, cute as a button.
Only $150 a night. That’s cheaper than a campsite chalet or a motel room in Exmouth.
I have lots of photos but here is one to tempt you.

Pic isDarrel Spicer’s mate from Perth with a cracker blue swimmer…(sorry, don’t know his name!)
Darrel Spicer had some mates from Perth visit recently and they all decided to get some crabs in the gulf. To their utmost surprise they got some cracking blue swimmers including the one pictured this week that was an
impressive 185cm! Oops, I think they meant millimetres? Still a VERY impressive crab! The boys from Perth couldn’t believe the size of the crabs in the Bay of Rest and the amount of them. The season for crabs has certainly been a great one and perhaps it is from all the rains we had early in the year.
There have been some keen GT anglers up from Albany this week in search of big fish. The boys are armed with large poppers, barbless hooks and heavy braid. They plan to catch and release a few, while also getting out to
target some other fish in very deep water. They believe there would be blue eye trevalla here and are planning to go out in 500m+ depths to try for them using standard manual reels….ouch! I will let you know next week if they are successful.
A few lads from Bluewater Scarborough are here this week and have been blessed with glass conditions and good fishing. Interestingly, on one day they pulled in to Bundegi and were surveyed by some Fisheries researchers.
They had other boats and anglers reporting very little, while the Scarborough boys had filled a sheet with various species. They boys had caught and released everything from tiny Charlie court cod to shark mackerel, queenfish, gold spot trevally, giant trevally, golden trevally, long tail tuna to 20kg, sharks, long toms and Spanish mackerel. They had also tried some local squid for a few reef species and caught bluebone, spangled emperor, rankin cod, coral trout and a Spanish flag. It was a mixed bag for the day and while they released plenty, they also had some fresh fish for dinner that night.
The Exmouth Classic reef fishing competition is on June 17-19, so make sure you get your entries in early to avoid disappointment. Last year there were some great catches and this year Fisheries will be here again to do research on fish brought in for the competition. Entry forms can be filled out at the clubhouse or the local tackle stores.

Nice big Ruby Jobbie
What a busy town Exmouth has been over the Easter break. There was not one room in any accommodation place available, nor were there even empty camp sites! As you can imagine the boat ramps and beaches were flat out too as the weather was ‘picture-perfect.’
At town beach before sunrise there have been schools of baitfish getting harassed by predatory species such as trevally and small queenfish. It is spectacular to watch and so is the sunrise! This coming week is good tides to be there and target the whiting, so make sure you have some prawn bait ready along with some small long shank hooks and a bit of berley for the whiting at dawn.
The fishing was a little slow over the Easter break. The full moon, biggest tides of the year and super-moon phase may have had something to do with it all. However, there were still reports late in the long weekend of mackerel, ranking, reds, and billfish by different anglers.
One tasty delight this week has been the run of yellow fin tuna off the cape. There have been several reports of large yellow fin in schools off the Muiron Island’s and the tip of the cape. The weed has been rather thick of late and trolling lures has been challenging, however, there has been some fish amongst it all.
Suze Gerovich and Taygen Dray were residents of Exmouth, working here at Bluewater Tackle for the last year. They, like so many others, stopped in Exmouth on a trip around Australia and ‘got stuck’. They have finally moved on with their travels, but will be back in around twelve months to settle in Exmouth. Before their departure they had a few days off around the west side chasing fish in the shallows, ruby’s out wide and billfish. The ruby fishing was sensational and pictured this week is Taygen with his first catch of ruby in deep water.

Our holiday home portfolio is ever changing and we sadly farewell Frangipani and Ocean Breeze.
Frangipani is on the market for sale and she is a little ripper of a house. She may be only one bedroom but she has plenty of space and if you are looking for a nice investment check out www.exmouthrealestate.com.au and ask for Leiza.
Ocean Breeze’s owners are ‘living the dream’ and they are moving to town in late May, we are very happy for them if not a little jealous!
But fear not as we will have some more properties to offer you very soon so watch this space! One home will even be ready for bookings in July…our only home still available for the July School Holidays.
Book now!

It’s a strange phenomenon to have water on the plains in Exmouth. I flew in last week and was astounded by the green everywhere, puddles on the side of the road and wildlife…I mean bugs…in plague proportions.
A week later and the plagues have subsided, the puddles are evaporating and the green grasses are finally being mowed by the residents.
However, on the way out to Bundegi Beach yesterday I was blown away by the flood plains full of water still. Such a sight for March!
Those guests arriving in the next few weeks will be greeted by a lush tropical paradise…it only gets better.

Some of our lovely owners are dog owners and dog lovers also. They are happy for you to stay in their house with your pet…but there are conditions!!
* Do not leave the dog at home when you are out. It will only bark and the neighbours will get cranky and ring the Ranger. Not fair on the neighbours or the dog.
* Dogs are not allowed in the houses. The next guest may have allergies to pet hair, and the cleaners dont want to spend hours getting the place hair free. Just not allowed!
* If the dog gets out and runs amok around the streets and it picked up by the Ranger…you only have yourself to blame. Nothing to do with us or the owners.
* Dogs are not allowed in the Cape Range National Park but are welcome on most beaches other wise.
* Pick up all the doo doo before you leave and put in bags and put in bin. Not loose so that it can stink out the bins for the next guests.
* If the dog digs in the garden, you must rectify before you leave or we will charge you (at Exmouth rates!!) for a gardener to come in and replace plants and fix.
* Remember to give it more water than you usually do at home…it wont be used to the heat and will dehydrate just as easily as you will.
Look at Coral, Cobia and Marlin if you are interested in bringing your pet with you. All bookings are subject to the owners approval first…it’s not a given!

When searching recently for some holiday home accommodation in Exmouth I found myself in the United Kingdom, forgetting we had neighbours accross the waters sharing our town namesake. It made me think how easy it is to get lost on the web when searching.
The new predictive search used by Google is a great way to save time typing, but it does not always lead you to where you wish to go. I have since opted for being quite specific when searching. For example: when looking for holiday accommodation in Exmouth I find it easier to type ‘Ningaloo” as apposed to Exmouth, the search engines take me exactly to where I want to go.
You can waste alot of time scrolling through unrelated sites (say for Exmouth) when you really wanted Ningaloo Accommodation…thinking outside the box!
