Can someone please PM the barges coordinates
G'day fellas. Would someone be so good as to send me the barges coordinates? I've searched high and low and cannot find them anywhere although I'm led to believe they are approx 10km west of Rottnest.
We went out chasing Sambo's at the Rottnest Artificial Reefs Friday week ago. The tides were big (low 0630hr 0.39m and high 2135hr at 1.15m), full moon the day before, and fishing in the middle of the day which I guess doesn't bode well for a successful trip. I have a Simrad NSS12 Evo3 with TM275LHW and couldn't sound out any fish on the artificial reefs so we headed towards the scuttle grounds and tried our luck on a couple of wrecks with no luck in up to 110m.
We jigged with a variety of jigs and still no cigar. I wonder whether the environmental factors above played a major role in why we couldn't find fish on the day and welcome your thoughts. I'm on ex Pilbara lad and have caught plenty of brag worthy fish up there (which isn't hard) but I'm not having a lot of success in Perth despite spending plenty of time (and fuel) looking for decent ground all over the place.
Any suggestions warmly welcomed.

Sorry dont have coordinates
Sorry dont have coordinates for barges but the fish towers generally hold very small fish, i have caught 2-6kg fish there using small 60-100g jigs and one fish of about 10kg using livebait. Don't hear a hell of a lot about the towers being a consistent "sambo jigging" spot unfortunately
