Chasing the mighty mulloway on the remote beaches of the Far West Coast had been on my wish list for many years. However, the trouble had always been organising the right equipment and group to do it with. Remote trips such as these should not be taken lightly, as there are not only many things you need to do right to get there, but you also need to make sure nothing goes wrong while you are there; you are a long way from anywhere when things go bad.
Every year I travel to Port Lincoln to catch up with my mate Russ and enjoy the awesome fishing Lincoln has to offer. One night over dinner, Russ asked me whether going to Yalata was something that I would consider doing. I explained to him that it certainly had been, but I was not in the right position to be able to make it happen. I’ve always thought to get the best out of a trip such as this, you would need quad bikes and the right 4WDs to get all the gear in to the fishing area. Russ, however, has been living in Lincoln for over a decade now and has acquired more than enough of the right equipment needed to have a very comfortable trip. Russ and good mate Arge are the owners of EP Recycling in Port Lincoln and love their beach fishing, so it made perfect sense that these would be the perfect people to plan a trip with.
