Trip off a life time - Heading your way 2013
Hello Fellow Fisherman - As you can see by the name I am Brisbane based fisherman -
My trouble and strife and the billy lids and me have to decided to drop out off the hustle and bustle of everyday life - Loading up
the van and heading to WA for 6 months - I have always wanted to see the West Coast and next year will be here before we know it.
I searched the net and found this site - Great site I must say - I am a member off Ausfish forum - User name LCC - QLD version of this site.
Unfortunaly I can not hitch the Polycraft to the back of the van. But I will be loading as much fishing gear as I can get away with - The Missus is already
making comments about not enough space for the gear. (could fit the tackle box in front passenger seat)
Anyway the reason for the post is to see if there are any of you WA blokes or Women that may be interested in showing a East coaster
how its done in WA - I have all the gear and am happy enough to chip in for Fuel cost for any skipper - I am a very experienced decky.
Have had boats for 20 years. ( I will do a couple of charters but would prefer to pass on some bucks fellow rec fisher like myself)
Should be in the south of WA around middle of May and will be slowly heading north along the coast to NT.
Will also be doing a fair bit off the beach - Have to buy the gear for this - Any advice in this area would be good - I was thinking
stradic 7000 - with 30 pound braid with a breakable beach rod. Need to feed the family along the way.
Also Happy to return the fishing Experience - Any one form WA want to catch a ride in the Poly in Brisbane feel free to Contact me by PM.
Cheers and happy Fishing

Thanks Blokes - I will keep updating this post and keep in contact - Very bloody excited about the trip - Only 10 months to go if all goes well. My wife wants to visit family in Adelaide - I may discuss the salmon run and ditch the rellies. Much more fun catching salmon.
And sorry to all the people from Adelaide but stuff all to do there.

hello mate sounds like a great trip, i cant offer you a boat im sorry but i can offer you a it of advice, while in the south of WA the blackwood river in Augusta has some great black bream, and margaret river is only just around the corner, A little futher north is Mandurah and Rockingham great for Blue swimmers but be careful there are on and off seasons. also in that area are some big dhufish and pink snapper if you can get on a boat.hillarys harbour and freo harbour has some great tailor jurien bay has some great beach fishing too. hope this helps with feeding the family
