Disclaimer: I am your average fishing person.
If people are considering doing some fishing on the trip I would suggest a basic rod and reel set up with 30lb line.
Various hooks and sinkers, metal traces and regarding fishing lures a small range from kmart or Big W.
I have collected a heap of gear over the years and will take that with me.
Also some plastic pipe about 500mm long for using in sand to sit your rod in.
Below is some gear I use.
We will top up the fishing gear, if needed, in Broome before we head to Cape Leveque where there is ample opportunity to fish.

And don't forget you need a WA fishing licences if using a boat and bag limits and other restrictions apply.

Mark if you have 12 lures in your tackle box 10 of them would need to need to be gold bombers. The other a deep dive and the last one an even deeper deep diver.

I was too ashamed to show all lures. People may think I have a fishing problem.
Agree Chris I have plenty of the bombers.

For the life of me I can not put a photo up but I have worked as a pro fishing guide for most of the last 20years and for Barra my no1 go to lure for casting into timber and gutter mouths is a "Transam" soft plastic with twin trebles. This lure is only 95mm long and 20g in weight but the wife and I have landed literally thousands of Barra on them. They are no good for trolling. Last week we were tossing lures around some timber and I landed a huge Barra of 1.3mts. 60lb of wild salt water Fish.
If someone would like me to email them the photo of the fish and lure to post up I would be more than happy.

I don't fish. I'm willing to give it a try. I don't want to spend much money.
What should I buy? ( or should I just pass to avoid frustration?)

Thanks for that b1. Hope you enjoyed. We have taken a few fish over 1mt with these lures.
Maybe this should be in the fishing section?

I have been speaking to Alex the owner of Boating West regarding boat hire in Broome and Cape Leveque.
The season and bookings will commence in a couple of weeks and I am looking at hiring a big centre console boat that can take up to 6 people on the Sunday we will be in Broome. (we arrive in Broome on the Friday 15th June and leave on Tuesday 19th June)
http://www.boatingwest.com.au/boat-hire-locations/broome-boat-hire/ (http://www.boatingwest.com.au/boat-hire-locations/broome-boat-hire/)
Also Alex has a 4.2 mtre tinnie at Cygnet Bay for hire which is only $195 a day. As we will be camping at Gumbanan, which is only 15 mins away, we may look at hiring it for a few days to explore the area and catch some fish.
http://www.boatingwest.com.au/boat-hire-locations/cygnet-bay-boat-hire/ (http://www.boatingwest.com.au/boat-hire-locations/cygnet-bay-boat-hire/)
I have a boat licence so no issues there.
14 days to go 😁😁

Just a heads up regarding fishing rules in WA:

If fishing from a boat you need a licence, see page 41 of the above link.

All organised. ;D
Fishing licence was obtained months ago as well as a cast net licence. If only one person has a fishing licence then only one bag limit applies. More than happy to catch , take photos and release.
I have even organised the tides and weather ;D ;D

I scored some nice Trout, Blue Lined ( Tricky) and Spanish when there in '05. In fact, the Spanish were a bit of a pest when trying for the demersal species. :-\
Also, got a nice cod (catch and release) in Hunter Ck area. Vehiclee access allowed then.
Good hunting.
