getting on the phone asap. Can be hard to secure something decent.

Last couple of times we've stayed in a house rented from Ray White Exmouth

 I thought it was  "A happy wife,  is one who stays at home " haha . Youll be right mate...start at dawn and the girls can relax into the morning and you can meet up in the arvo for drinkys, theres nothing else for the girls to do in Exxy, sounds great ! Im not a expert on Exxy offshore but yeah they catch hlongs inside the gulf including Sailys, Tuna, Macks etc . In fact I got my first macky trolling just out beyond the naval jetty many years ago.  And once your out there its not far before you are heading out the western side anyway.

 Hey mate this is where we stay in exmouth every year they ain't to pricey and can handle boats and very central to town walking distance to pub shops and other attractions so good for the wife's.... Most them 3-1 but can get some on 2-1 do well worth it

Maybe we will leave the women at home, set up the camping gear and be free to perve on a few backpackers.

If you go through Ray White, remember to mention that you booked through fishwrecked, they aren't sponsors anymore but it would be good to get them back on.  Plenty of options for accomo, I'd look to go with something in town, then atleast you can fish the gulf if the west side is blowing - just gives you a few more options.

Some nice modern  sweet homes.

I would definitely stay in town mate and going through Ray white is the way to go and they have a large amount of accomodation to suit any budget but do get in quick.

Plenty of tuna bust ups in the gulf if you want to launch the marina and as mentioned above you will pick up mackies at the Nor West reef out from bundegi which will be easy to launch from with a 5m ali, do watch the tides though cos as we discovered on a real low tide you have buckleys of getting out and then it is a little drive back to the marina after you have dropped someone off to tow your trailer to meet you.

If you launch from bundegi it isnt too far to shoot around the point to helby bank (very easy from tantabiddi) and that would be where I would be heading for mackeral it has never failed to produce for us....get them in quick though plenty of those pesky sharks around.

Good Luck.....not many better places than Exmouth in my opinion :)

Stay in town if you can, it's only 30 odd minutes to Tantabidi and less to Bundegi, don't be afraid to fish outside the reef in a 5m (if you have the safety gear)

Macks in 30-50m water, Blacks and Sails in 50-100m and tuna so thick you can walk on them at all depths at times.

If you have the fuel and the weather is good, go out to the islands, some good fishing out there both on the east and west side.

It's a bit of a stretch to be calling the accomodation at Lighthouse a 'chalet' - sure, it's perfect for a blokes trip; but I'm sure the divorce papers would be sitting on the table if I booked the missus into lighthouse and took off fishing.... :)

Talk to Ray White - we stayed at osprey villas last week - across the road to the pub, boat parking, close to town + boat ramp, air con, pool etc

It's only about 20 minute drive to Tantabiddy; and even if it's windy, inside the reef offers some great fishing for spango's, goldens, occasional GT, bonefish etc, it's also a great spot to take the ladies - lots to see - turtles, great coral/snorkelling etc

Not many tuna in the gulf at the moment, but that can change. some good queenies around, and lots of light gear fun on GT's small goldens etc

ray white cancelled on us couple weeks ago, luckily we found another house to fit us all in, gonna be a bit cosy but..

if you can i would reccomend not renting through a company, way less hassle
