 hey guys, im planning on heading out for a overnight mulla fish on the river. Where is the best place to moore a 40ft boat for mulloway?

regards 

Has anybody been crabbing in the swan recently? Last time I ventured out, about a month ago, most were undersized with keepers few and far between. Just wondering if it's worth giving it another go yet?

 Hi guys, so I finally managed to get the tinnie out last night. I launched from the mounts bay jet ski ramp and headed toward Matilda bay. I got on the water about 6pm and back in just after dark. I was trolling at round 3knots.  I ended up getting just one hook up but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I was initially using a 10g twisty but it seemed to just sit on the surface and skim along the top, is this right, or should it be suspended? 

I then changed to a 60 or 80mm suspending lure which was suspended and got my strike on that. Which brings me to my next question, what do u guys do with the outboard once u get a hook up? Do u just turn it off or throw it in idle or wat? I spent way too much time stuffin around with my outboard and allowed a heap of slack and obviously whatever it was got off. I was spewin coz it definitely hit hard and just ran. 

I'm new to this boating stuff but after last nights hook up I definitely wanna get out there again ASAP with hopefully a bit more luck, so was hoping to get some pointers from you guys, even if it seems way obvious I could probly do with being told, haha

Thanks

Steve

Hi guys,

I know theres a few threads on this already but i just wanted a few things cleared up. I've just gone out and bought some new lures so i want to back it up with some new braid. I havent used braid before so i just wanted opinions on which braid and rigging tips.

I was thinking about going 6-8lb braid but wanted to know if i need to use a leader if i get some fluro green braid such as the sunline super pe

Also can anyone recommend a particular lure retriever

Thanks

Steve

Hey all, was just reading an article on Freshwater fishing for the south west from yesterdays newspaper and found it pretty interesting :) there has been a few modified rules and regulations, all good i think. The season had been extended this year by two months so that the season now runs from September 1st right through until June 30th leaving 2 months for stocked fish to acclimatise  to their new environments before the season re-opens.

Along with the extended season, there are also no longer any 'special rules' applying to louges brook and waroona dams. There has also been an increase in the number of trout waters open to fishing ALL YEAR. These include Louge brook, Big brook, Wellington, and Glen Mervyn dams.

The other change that i wasnt so keen on was that the closed season is now closed to ALL freshwater fishing even for species such as redfin and cobbler.

I was just curious as to what everyone else thinks of the changes?, but i think overall it was pretty good. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks :)

Hi all,

Am very new to prawning and am looking for some pointers. I have tried the search function before anyone points that out to me.

I am looking at getting prawns for either bait or a feed. Now I am located in Bunbury. I remeber when I was a lot younger heading out with a net in the inlet down towards Australind but this was many moons ago now.

Is there any area's not specific spots I can try? Oh I have a hand held prawn light and a prawn net no boat.

Your help or pointers would be muchly appreciated.

Just been reading the west and i hear that some up to 40cm have been caught up as far as windan bridge... anyway my other half agreed to look after my neice and nephew today without my knowledge. Thinking of taking them to PT Walter to target some choppers (instead of them destroying the house). Just wondering if anyone has had any luck there?

hey me and my mate been going down capel river from highway bridge walking back to town way been cathing huge redfin to 40cm plenty off 30-35cm ones for people wanting some fun. soft plastics been working well bright reds and oranges catching more but natural brown and black ones have produced the bigger ones. worth getting down there for them.

 Hey guys, planing on going upto Moore River next weekend, Hows It for fishing ATM? What's the best baits to take?

Cheers Jamil.

Has anyone caught mullet fishing for bream in a river system using prawns, my son caught a 47cm mullet at Greenough river last night could not believe my eyes

 I trying to look around rivers but i cant find any but i saw someone actually left 3 pcs of mussles so i just fish with it 

Has anyone caught any soapies in the swan recently or does anyone target them. I wouldnt mind targeting them on light gear if I know theyre around.

  There is a lot of mullet swimming under the lights of the jetty around night time. But they just swimming in the shadow lines. I always cath a couple with my cast net. But it would be easy if I can get them more close to the jetty under the light. So how can I berley them all closer to the jetty?

 I know there are many diffrent mullets. I reckon it is sea mullet. They are quit big boys, really silver and fat.

I tried bread but they don't really respond to the bread.. What else can I try?

Any Berley tips would be good so me and my friend don't need to argue about the last mullet haha

cheers

 What is the best time to look for muddies beteween the mangroves and small mudcreeks? On an outgoing tide or the start of incoming tide?

I have no crab pot and I just wanna catch them by hand with a poke stick and a bucket, a good challange and fun :)

Any tips are welcome :)

12 hours to go till we wet our lines in the Harvey dam , cant wait .

Went down there last sunday for a look at the levels and the clarity of the water and was amazed at how many people were fishing there,

I know before someone reminds me that I was doing the same thing out of season fishing there some time ago as I was under the asumption that it was an open season dam, It does however show a problem with getting people to understand and know the rules and why was there no ranger or the like letting people know the rules ,even some signs would be a start.

Anyway wish us luck , have never caught a trout .

Mike.

Does anybody know if the mud crabbing any good at the ashburton river ( old onslow ) or is it better to stay in town and fish the creeks north of town

cheers

Hey was just wondering if anyone has been for a fish at Nanga brook? i talked to the owner of nanga bushcamp and he says thats about the only place to catch trout nowadays in dwelling up if thats right? Anyone caught anything there/ lately?

Has anyone tried fishing at Scarp pool towards Dwellingup?

I have fished the murray on the other side of dwellingup and decided to take a drive around some tracks including Scarp rd, on the pinjarra side of dwellingup. I found Scarp pool and has never heard of it before. Its on the murray so is open waters all year round, just wondered if there was any fish there?

Hi all, names wal and new to this site ,was  wondering if anyone has been chasing redfin lately at the harvey dam ? also is bait fishing for them aloud there and ifso what normally works best. Cheers

any one been down lately and can give info on the water level? i was there a couple of months ago and wondering if its a bit deeper or not yet?

Hi guys

I'm new to this forum and pretty new to fishing so i i'm after some advice.

Some mates and i are heading down to Margaret River next weekend to camp at Canebrake Pool.

I was wondering if anyone has been there and if there is anything to catch there. If not where would be a place close by that was worth while.

Also if you guys could offer some pointers on tackle and tactics that would be great.

Thanks for your pateince :)

Hi Guys,

Just a question for all the Squido's out there. Last night i went down for my first EGI session and at the end of the night it seems i was bitten off. Cast out had a few twitches and then bang, felt like a fish and before i could do anything gone. I got some of my leader back and it had definite bite marks in it. Is this a regular occurance with anyone or more of a freak event? Im using 4lb nitlon PE with a small amount of 8lb flouro as leader/wind on joined together by a bimini to albrieght.

On a plus side i did manage to get a couple, 4 in 5 casts (well 3 squid and 1 Cuttlefish). Spent more time driving to and from fremantle than actually squiding but it was worth it and ill be going again soon.

Sorry about the phone snaps it was late and i couldnt be bothered with the SLR.

what are teh best jetties in the swan to target mulloway guys?

cheers

hi everyone ,

           New to fishwrecked and perth , thinking about trying the canning river near the kwinana fwy bridge . any thoughts on this spot would be greatly appreciated.   

     cheers

Heading down this week sometime. Is it worth dropping some nets from the jetty while i fish, hoping to snag some crab or would i be wasting my time?

What colour poppers should i get for fishing the lower parts of the swan river?

I dont know if there still is trout in here coz i heard they got fished out but im not sure
