Hi Guys,

Please make welcome our new site sponsor; Shore Catch

Cheers,
Adam

Shore Catch is a Western Australian family business that aims to provide unique products and services to the local fishing community.

Our mission is to identify existing shortfalls in product and service delivery and supply those markets in a friendly, efficient and cost effective way.

We create custom clothing for aquatic based activities. We work with you to design what you need and can produce a high quality product for many applications. Our products are manufactured in Western Australia to ensure quality for our customers and are not cheap imports. We are flexible and offer personalised service through the whole design and supply process. We offer a stock range of logo free fishing shirts for purchase via the internet. We do not understand why you have to pay top dollar to advertise for a business and produce good quality merchandise for a market price. We are currently offering stock shirts at near cost to Fishwrecked Members to promote our brand. Please support us and see the website for specific details.

We can also supply and custom install Minn Kota electric motors to your boat in Perth. The electric anchor and programmed slow drift features of the motors is exceptional but there is no current service that can properly advise what is specifically required. We can provide that service in a practical way.

Burley is key to attracting fish to your baits. We are currently obtaining the relevant licences for manufacture and supply of high quality burley in Western Australia. Our product will be unique in the local market with a tested recipe at a fair price over a range of size options. Shore Catch will operate from a retail outlet in the last quarter of 2015. Our products and services range will diversify and we look forward to advising location, and the specific additional products and services, to members in due course.

We are proud to be a sponsor of Fishwrecked.com.

Hi Gang,

Just a quick note to let any business owners out there know that we have a discounted advertising rate running on the site until Christmas to celebrate our 10th anniversary of operation.  The rate is $30 cheaper for the month than we charge hourly for a tradesman in Dampier if you want an idea of the pricing.

If you are interested in getting exposure to the Western Australian fishing market, then feel free to contact me at:

For our members, please also utilise our sponsors, I strongly believe in supporting local businesses that provide great customer service to you guys.  They often do it tough against online shopping where service isn't as much of an issue and overheads basically don't exist so they can offer extremely cheap prices.  I really believe in having the ability to go to someone face to face to talk about the service/product you are looking for and have chosen our advertisers on that premise.

Cheers,

Adam

Welcome to Zambezi Safaris.
You have seen them on TV,  Hydrocynus vittatus , the striped water dog. Teeth, stripes, orange fins, probably one of the most beautiful fish in Africa.
As an ex Zimbabwean now happily settled in Perth, I can't help but want to share the thrill of catching tiger.
Myself and my contacts back in Zim have come together to offer you the opportunity to experience the magic of the Zambezi River and its wildlife.
You have three lodges at your disposal, each with its own special features.
 
SIDINDA, is the fishing lodge, situated on the Zimbabwean side of the Zambezi, this lodge has access to some of the best tiger fishing available. This stretch of river is diverse, with rapids, deep pools and sandbars. The fish species are numerous, with Tigerfish, Vundu and Bream being the main targets.
The fishing season runs from late August to mid November.
 
BOMANI, is the game viewing lodge. A small pan with luxurious tented chalets situated around it. Sit around the camp fire in the evening whilst you watch wild elephant come out of the bush like grey ghosts to drink and play in the mud.
 
GORGES is a breath taking lodge. Situated on the very edge of the Batoka Gorge, every one of the ten chalets has a view of the Zambezi River 250m down at the bottom of the gorge.
Gorges Lodge is a 20minute drive away from Victoria Falls, where you can tour the falls or take part in adrenaline activities like white water rafting.
 
I have personally spent time at all three of these lodges. They are operated and run by experienced staff who will do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience.
Please visit the website for more information www.zambezisafaris.net
Feel free to look up Gorges Lodge, (recently ranked #1 specialty lodge) and Bomani Tented Lodge on trip advisor http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ to see what previous guests think.

Good mate Steve enjoys fishing out in the super deep and does well. We were talking recently and he said " I want to get a big bass groper Ryan " 
No worries I have a few cheeky spots that hold fish ie 30-40kg Bass Groper so lets go when the weathers suitable. Steve mentioned he was going away for work and Friday (31/1/14) was ther only day! 

I said the weather is very average but Steve owns a 53ft (Nebraska Charters) and he said common mate let's do it ....... mmhhhhh ok!!!

We threw ropes early ie 4am and off we went, we pulled a few fish from Steve's spots ie greyband etc but Steve was keen to hunt for a bass! 

By now the wind was up (even more) and I said we'll go to this spot and give it a go ...... searching searching searching and nothing! 

I said I've got another spot near by and its a bass lump with hard limestone and a hidey hole for a biggen! 

A quick steam and we were back to searching ....... the Furuno sounder looked the goods and I said that's gotta produce ...... Steve drops and within a short time of the baits being on the bottom Steve was on! 

After about a 45 plus minute fight (maybe longer) a massive spa bath of bubbles was hitting the surface about 40 meters out from the boat and one very very big bass groper on the surface! 

We gaffed it and it took every bit of help to get it over the gunnel. I said to Steve that's bigger than the State record which was 46kg on my boat by kasey back in 2009! 

We got it to my home and weight it on very accurate scales( ie the one I used with Kasey State record fish) and it read 52.57 but after 3 times it fluctuated by a kilo but close enough! 

Steve went into MAAC club after leaving my house and they weighed it on Certified scales and went 52.50kg and a pending new State record and Australian record as the Australian record is 49kg in NSW 2004! 

Despite the conditions being very average Steve's boat eats up the conditions and very stable. Congrats to Steve on the trophy Bass Groper and happy to help mate. Steve is getting it taxidermy and the fish going to Fisheries Research after that . It was a great day with yourself and Corey (the human fish scale ha ha)

Cheers

Please vote for who you think is a worthy winner of the Photo of November 2013 competition. The winner will get to choose an item from the fishwrecked merchandise line (excluding L/S shirts). Please check out the stories that go with the catches as well and vote for who you like.  Please remember if you think you have a worthy photo for the photo of the month, you MUST add it to the site as an individual image and not only in the forums as it is too difficult for me to go through all the forum threads. If you have any questions regarding the competition or want to sponsor the POTM, then please PM me; I have chosen the 6 fish photos that I think best represent what gets caught and posted on the site. If you don't like an entry, then don't vote for it and remember it is just for fun.  Cheers, Adam
