Hi FW members.

It seems the warm weather is on its way, which is great news for most of us .

This months 1Lastcast Competition is open to all FW members.

The prize is a pair of FLOATERS, a new brand of floating sunnies from the well known Barz Optics. They should arrive new week and I will post up a picture.

The prize will once again need to be collected in store.

We are looking for photos showing a great day out on the water of you and you fishing mates or family.

Same rules apply as the last comp. It will run for one month from 7/10/2011 to 7/11/2011.

I will get Adam to choose the winning picture once again.

Well done to Paul winning last months comp. Unfortunately the comp cannot be won by the same person twice.

Good luck and Happy fishing.

Regards

The Waterworld Team

WaterWorld-WA will be running a 1lastcast competition.

Upload a photo of your catch or just your day out, with your Evinrude or Honda outboard in the backround.

At the end of the comp (1month) Adam will decide on the winning photo.

The winning photo will receive either an Evinrude or Honda hamper to the value of $100 to be collected in store at WaterWorld-WA

The competition will run from 15/08/2011 to 15/09/2011.  (this may become a monthly competition)

Good luck and Happy Fishing

Hi Crew,

It seems lately that a few people may have had some bad experiences with fishing charters up and down the coast.  Whilst I appreciate you guys putting up your reports here, which is fine for you to do, how about you contact the operator and let them know that you weren't happy and see what they are willing to do about it.  Many people have high expectations (and differing expectations) when it comes to these sorts of things.  Try and put yourselves in their shoes, if the fish aren't biting, then there's not much you can do about it all you can do is try your best.  Just try and think about it from their perspective before going all keyboard warrior styles and ripping into their business and doing untold damage just because you got the bad day.  Everyone's heard the story, you shoulda been here yesterday!!

This thread only serves as notice that I will be monitoring this stuff closely from now on as; a) because I don't want defamation suits or the threats that go with, b) because these guys try bloody hard to get you fish and it's not always easy, c) because you wouldn't like it if it was your business being dragged through the mud.  So rather than jumping on the net and going to town, try ring the guys first and see what outcome you get and then if you aren't happy, have a good hard think before posting and try and keep it objective and tell your story and we will go from there.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Crew,

I have decided on the dates for the fishwrecked competition.  They are going to be held late March/early April for the following reasons ; Gamex and AIBT are on Mid March and have lots of boats in town, most of them will have gone by the time our comp is on.  Its the week before school holidays start and Easter - so the chaos at the ramps will mainly be by us.  It does pose a cyclone risk, but it is usually pretty minimal by then and the chances are slim.  These dates also leave holiday rentals available before school hols begin.  The temperature will be warm but hopefully so will the water temp and with the international and gamex the weeks before hand, we should have a pretty good idea if the billfish are worth chasing or if we spend most of our time chasing other oooglies.

Dates are :

Sat 31st:

3.30am : 1.8m

8.40am : 1.25m

3pm : 2.1m

10.30 : 1.1m

Sunday 1st:

4.45am : 1.7m

9.20am : 1.4m

4pm : 2m

Monday 2nd:

12am : 1.2m

7am : 1.6m

11am : 1.5m

6:15pm : 1.9m

Any questions, please ask.  There will be a capped amount of spots next year so get in early.

Cheers,

Adam

Fishing licenses and West Coast restrictions.

The Government/Cabinet/Minister have decided. Announced 2 July. Apply from mid October 2009.

2 month closed season for West Coast demersal species 15 Oct to 15 Dec each year.

More demersal species included in the West Coast list, not just a "vulnerable 5". Coral and Coronation trout, Cods, Dhufish, Emperors, Baldchin groper and Tuskfish, Blue Groper, Hapuku, Bass groper, Trevella, Grey banded rock cod, Parrot fish, Pink Snapper, Queen snapper, Red Emperor, Red snapper, bight redfish, nannygai and swallowtail, Tropical snappers and sea perch (mangrove jack, fingermark, job fish, stripey sea perch etc.) Foxfish and Pigfish.

State wide boat licence fee $30 for any fishing from boats, (unless the activity is covered by one of the separate licences also held, eg recreational rock lobster)

West Coast demersal fishing licence from boats $150 per year, $20 for 1 day, $60 for 14 days.

Other licence fees increased to $45 each. Umbrella licence removed.

50% discounts for Pensioners and Children under 16.  Children under 16 fishing with a licenced fisher don't need a Rec boat fishing licence if using part of the licenced person's daily bag limit.

EDIT EDIT 4:15PM Ignore this >>>Some ambiguity in the wording about children under 16 needing a licence, (eg demersal licence) when fishing and using part of the licenced person's daily bag limit. Understand that the intention is no licences required for this.<<< Ignore this   EDIT EDIT Yes a separate licence IS required.

Shore based fishing for finfish doesn't need any licence, that means shore based catch of demersals doesn't need a demersal licence. Closed seasons for West Coast demersals applies to shore based fishing too.

Revenue raised from the new licensing system would be quarantined in a recreational fishing trust and only spent on matters related to recreational fishing.

The review reports which were part of the decisions on restrictions will be released.

Mixed bag limit for lower risk category 3 fish in the West Coast bioregion will reduce from 40 per angler to 30 and for medium risk category 2 fish from 16 to 12.

Tailor slot limit changes to only 2 fish over 50cm (previously only 2 fish over 60cm) within the unchanged 8 per day bag limit.

Review of all these after 12 months of operation.

Some details still to be explained or clarified.

Original Shirts - $40 + postage
email :adam@fishwrecked.com.
I have some more of the original fishwrecked shirts available in XL, XXL, and mediums (still have other sizes) but will also be getting a tanktop magazine to check through. I have a design in mind and will try and take some photos of them before they get to the next stage to try and make sure everyone's happy. I am also picking up a new batch of holographic fishwrecked stickers. If you want one, please don't hesitate to message or email me.

Sambo Jigging footage from Honsu. Just a small video of some of the footage he has given me from an awesome day on the water. The music is pretty old school, but I think it works :)
