Theory sounds good ....... Fact or fiction ?

 Hi Crew, I spent a lot of time on the river this summer chasing bream and learnt a lot of new things I would like to share.

Now I’m not going to bore you with bream techniques but thought I would share all the info I scored off the mulloway fishers that swarmed the river over the last few months. I was lucky enough to get some firsthand knowledge on how to be successful in the hunt for these awesome fish. I will try to explain step by step some of the things required to join this exclusive group of anglers.

·         Preparation

1.       First thing you need to do before heading down to the river is make sure your Centrelink payment has gone into the bank.

2.       Give your Meth dealer a call and arrange a pickup. You’re going to need enough crack to last at least two days. While you are there, grab one of those cheap Stella reels, the dealer has a box full of them under his bed.

3.       On the way home stop and grab some supplies, 3 boxes of Emu Export , 5 packets of Winnie blue and one pack of beef jerky should be ample. Now would be a good time to swing by and pick up your fishing mates, Johno, Robbo and Donk before you get too pissed.

4.       Make sure your mates have brought enough drugs and piss for themselves, lucky everyone gets paid on the same day. Cheers Centrelink.

5.       Ok, the car is packed but you are too wasted to drive, you draw straws to see who get to wake ya missus up. It’s not going to be fun, she hates having to get up before 3pm. After a big shit fight that the whole neighbourhood hears , you , your mates, the missus, 3 kids and all the fishing gear etc. are loaded and on the way to the river.

·         Fishing Spots

1.       Picking the right spot to fish is very important. It needs to be close to a park that normal families frequent. You know, a place where kids play and people walk dogs, nice and peaceful.

2.       Make sure lots of kayakers and rowers use that part of the river. Even better if they have a club within a few hundred metres of your fishing spot.

3.       When you arrive be sure to start another fight with the missus while the other guys set up a spot right in the middle of everyone. Make sure you argue very loudly and make it aggressive, this will ensure average honest people will avoid you like the plague.

4.       Now you will need to give the missus some rock to get rid of her. Tell her to keep her phone nearby in case you need any more supplies, slap the kids in the back of their heads goodbye and you are all set for a good fishing session.

·         Bait

1.       You don’t need to take any bait, that’s what the 3 throw nets are for. People might tell you it’s illegal to use nets in the river, but this is your prime opportunity to start aggressively abusing people.

2.       Recommended sentences are ( F#ck of you dog c&nt ill do whatever I want) ( Get the f#ck out of here before I smash your face in ) etc. etc. etc.

·         Getting baits out there.

1.       Getting your bait in the right zone is very important, you need to cast as far as you can. If you can get out past the middle that’s great, but if you get 2/3 of the way across the river that’s even better.

2.       Aim for any boats, yakers or swimmers they are worth extra points.

3.       Now sit back, neck some piss, smoke some pipes and watch the lines (all 9 of them). It won’t take long to get a run.

·         The first run.

1.       By now it’s getting late in the arvo, the kayakers and rowers are getting into the water. Families are enjoying the park and river when one of the lines gets hit and the drag on the reel is screaming.

2.       Now run over to the rod, look up at the kayak that is caught on your line and yank as hard as you can. If you are good enough the hooks should set right into the poor guy’s leg. If not you will get plenty of chances to do it right over the next hour or two.

3.       So the hooks didn’t set but the kayak is tangled up pretty good. As the guy paddles toward you (to untangle the line ) start abusing him.

4.       Recommended sentences are ( You stupid f#cking idiot, think you own the river ) ( c$nt, could you paddle any closer to the shore) ( I’m going to kick your head in if you don’t get my line back) etc. etc. etc.

5.       This should continue to happen for the next couple hours until it’s too dark for most water craft. But don’t worry, at first light in the morning, it will all begin again just like Groundhog Day.

·         Day 2.5

1.       After 2.5 days of this, someone finally catches a Mulloway. The supplies have run out and it’s time to pack up.

2.       Make sure you leave all the rubbish there, the fairies will clean it up.

3.       Missus finally arrives to pick you all up, another fight starts up and you have to slap her cause she is looping out from all the meth. The kids are ok, she left them at the dealer’s house, and you have to go by there anyway.

4.       Five minutes after you leave, Fisheries rock up. They claim after 87 complaints they should drop in for a look. You are not there, so they harass a small child who put a bream in his bucket to watch it swim.

5.       When you get to the dealer’s house the only thing you have to barter with is the Mulloway. So you swap it for a few rocks and the kids.

6.       Make sure you get a picture of the Mulloway before the exchange. Then you can post it on a Facebook page so other crack heads can call you a f#ckhead for killing such a beautiful fish. This should keep you entertained for a few days threatening each other before the next trip down the river.

·         You are now a member

Now you can call yourself a member of the exclusive Swan river Mulloway club.

I sincerely hope this helps a few people out, it took me a while to understand what it takes to join this club, and even tho I fish the river a lot. I just don’t think I have what it takes to be a club member.

Stay tuned for next week’s instalment. Ammo Jetty Etiquette. In this episode I delve into what it takes to be a professional jetty rat. The fights, the rules of rubbish distribution, how to flank of the end of the jetty, and needles fish slaughter will all be covered in the article.

Tight lines everyone.

 Can anyone recommend a CHEEP All terrain tyre? Not willing to fork out $400 a pop on Micky T's again!

 Hi guys, I have misplaced ( probably used for playdough mat) my April 2014 copy of FishingWA magazine; which featured an article on "night fishing - part 1" which I found to be a good read. Good to have a fisho author willing to share some hard - won knowledge in a public forum like that.
Anyhow - just wondering if anybody on fishwrecked has a copy (of that article) that could be emailed or faxed to me?
Would be much appreciated!

I will provide my email / fax upon a positive answer.

Thanks,

Unhurry 

 A solar eclipse is on today and we are in a prime spot for it here in the southwest. Starts at 13:17 so no looking unless you have a welding mask on or you will turn into a pumpkin, well that's what my old man told me when I was a kid.

cheers

 was given this interesting little site, its an interactive movie about why you should wear a life jacket.

sortieenmer.com

Please check it out and pass it on. Sorry if this has been seen before.

so PM abbot and treasure Hocky want us to work until we are 70, my bet is neither of them will work until they are 70, until they are 70 they will just have there snouts in there super fund and ex poly benefit's , the age increase is bullshit if any thing it should be lowered men and women that have done there 30 to 40 years in the Pilbara have build this state and country, you only have to look at the skin of any NW veteran to see what happens when you spend your life up there .

 Looking at buying a boat from perth. It has a 2005 135 honda with 550 hours seviced regularly. Just wondering if anyone knows what price I should be taking for the motor if its in good condition? And does anyone know of people that do boat checks for buyers?

Sorry if this isn't ok but I have a rental that needs re painting house is in High Wycombe and would rather offer job to someone on here than just another tradie , If your a painter and want some work send me a PM
thanks

my mate got broken into in willagee 2 nights ago his two rottys bailed the offender up and took a few chunks out of him , then Eddie gave him a few smacks and held him until the cops arrived , believe it or not eddie is being charged with assault

Just got off the phone to our local police, got a report of a car and trailer parked up in the new boat ramp car park with the weather not suitable IMO for small boats to be out.

Seems three people on a 6.1 metre boat are in for a very uncomfortable night over at the islands with the wind blowing from the north and there being only one very small anchorage [if you know it] that gives protection.

They haven't logged in with sea rescue and if something does happen we have no clue on where they will be if we have to find them. The cops traced the vehicle and trailer rego and spoke to the father of the owner who gave us a heads up but still with out the detail that we will need.
They will also be finding a kind note to drop in at the police station when they return because the sergeant doesn't approve of having a possible search to deal with.

The first lot of rain has produced water pooling on the inside of the bimini cover on my boat, the material is in good condition, just needs rewaterproofing; what is the best and safest method of waterproofing the fabric again, does anybody have experience with this problem ???????????????

Cheers

Old Banga!

For those travelling up to Exmouth it might be worth holding off for a few days.
They have had well over 100 mm of rain in the last 24 hours, 64 mm since 0900 this morning. The main street is a river and all the floodways are that, floodways. The met station down at Learmonth is where the recordings are taken but they are below the rain band that has dumped on the town so would expect the town reading to be over 200mm.

 unfortunately I have to cancel my exmouth trip, i was so looking forward to it as my son(15) was going to come along, and was keen for some fishing tuition in the best surroundings i could of imagined , with great company,

he collapsed the other night , and is now in pmh, diagnosed anorexia, a teeneger who went on a simple diet for his own self looks etc, he wasnt overwight, started with cutting out junk etc, but he became obsessed, and his mom and I had sort outside help, due to his massive rapid weightloss , you dont know whats happening on the inside, 

thank god he is in pmh, its been a hard few months, and i,m sure a few hard more but he can only return to full health from here,

looks like next year now for me, 

on a positive we took my lad out to the shelf a couple of weeks ago and although conditions were poor, we only dropped once he handled it, he has the stomach and courage of a true fisher , so we will get there,

anyways to all parents with teens, the tell tale signs are there, and we thought we had caught this but believe me it creeps up on you quick,

cheers 

Paully is a downhill skiing flog. Had a little cry and got your thread deleted did you.

Glad you're not a Pies fan Paully.

COLLLINGWOODDDDD!

BET YOU WOULD HAVE LEFT IT UP IF THE BOMBERS WON.

What do you reckon guys, has the Brisbane delivery driver got a chance?

Be great to see him crack in and at least go the distance. Fighting a seasoned pro though so it wont be easy.

Hi Guys,

My brother has just moved here from South Aussie and chasing some work in the fishing industry, he has worked on cray boats and is prepared give anything a go to get is foot in the door over here.

If any of you know someone looking for a keen fit young bloke please let me know. Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Swell isn't big, but it's clean and consistent.

(Edit: 'was' consistent)

As the title would suggest I am wanting to purchase a new printer for the home office. The usage I would classify in the low category. Dollar wise I would prefer to spend less than $300 but remain flexible. I am not really into modern technology and there appear to be many options out there. Any recommendations?

 Hi, hoping someone can help

I have recently upgraded to a larger screen, gone from Lowrance HDS 7 to an 8. However when I plug my existing transducer into the new screen I am constantly loosing bottom (previously had no issues). The unit takes 30mins to fix itself and constantly has issues, also lost temp reading. I have been told that it may be because the wrong transducer has been selected. My issue is I don't know what transducer I have and which option I should select? My previous unit has been reset so I can check the options. 

There is no label on the cable. On the transducer all there is the following text

skimmer tm 5.109.364 D329.616 ( this is probably the patent?) 

Any help would be appreciated as I have googled hard and not found much

Thanks 

Matt 

last weekend my mate got what he thought was his first size pinkie it went just under 50cm I measured it and said "bad news Allan its just under it has to go back" it went just under 50 cm " oh hell I hate fishing he says" (although he is addicted to fishing) , I was looking at the fish ruler a bit closer today and read the rest of the rule about pinkies the 50 cm rule applies only applies between lancelin and black point and inner gulfs of shark bay other wise the 41cm applies . cant wait to tell him don't think he will be happy ha ha we were fishing out from rockingham

 G'day people, what's a good car alarm these days and what can I expect to pay for a good one fitted?

cheers

Dale

Now thinking of getting a transit instead of a Ute. 

Anybody have one?

Anybody towing with one? How does it tow? Do they like to drink on the tow? 

I am looking at 08 and newer, 2.4 or 2.2 diesel, low roof, short base, preferably two sliding doors.
