Planning a trip & would appreciate some advice on location.

Hi Guys,
I'm planning a six day fishing trip at the end of the Month and would appreciate some advice on location.
There's 4 guys, a 4x4 and a 4.5m dinghy. We've got boat rods, beach rods and flick rods, but don't have enough equipment for places like steep point or quobba.
We're located in Perth, and some of the options we're exploring are Kalbarri, Carnarvon or Exmouth - with or without the boat.
What would you suggest for a memorable trip ?
Cheers,
Gatiep

Shark Bay??
I'm trying to get a few crew together for this trip, easy beach launches and everything from whiting to Coral Trout.....

Hard to go past Exmouth mate
Hard to go past Exmouth mate and with that setup you would be able to get into some great fish.
Easy launching and a heap of options so would probably be my pick

I'd vote for Exmouth,
I'd vote for Exmouth, between 4 guys you should be able to knock the drive over in 1 hit, then have 4 full days up there. Perfect tinny country with plenty of options.

If not exy. Try lucky bay,
If not exy.
Try lucky bay, just south of wagoe/kalbarri. Only 6 hour drive. On the right day you can drive out into the ocean through the reef. Otherwise short trip to wagoe for beach fishing. or stay inside the reef for huge tailor on light gear.

I would also consider Kalbarri
It is just about time for the metre long tailor to start showing up and with a 4wd you have the option of also going to Wagoe and Lucky Bay.

Would have loved to join you
Would have loved to join you guys with my JetSki. Have you considdred Leeman. Only 300 km from Perth, good caravan park with nice chalets and good fishing off shore in 35 - 45 meters of water. I have been there fishing of my JetSki, got some good Dhu fish, Rass, Black Ass, Sgt Beakers etc. My friend has caught some groper as well. Just check the weather though. Good luck. Johan

Thank you for all your replies.
After deliberation, we've decided to head to kalbarri and chase some big tailor.
I'll post details and pics in a few weeks.
