Just wanted to speak someone who gets a good signal on the sounder. 

Ive been trying to get the transducer in the right spot so I dont get any breaking up on the screen.

For the fans, the Trawlermen series returns to SBS tomorrow [Friday]night at 730pm.

The recent post about holiday makers northward bound reminded me of this.  Filling the 4x4 regularly with petrol between Perth and Exmouth (boat attached) I have found is sometimes a tedious experience.  At some service stations the petrol flows freely from the bowser where at others it shuts off after with anything more than a trickle fill rate.  Minilya servo springs to mind as one of the tricklers. 

What goes, is it me?

many companies boot workers out faster than prune juice smoothy!
Yet Austal had the guts and faith to sink $100m into a project with no buyer yet, keep 400 workers in a job and take the leap of faith.
Thats what I call a good company and one I'd work for.
Not like the other major pr!cks that laid us off faster than flies and now cry to get us back to work for them when the swing moves up again,
Bravo Austal, You are a real world player and a company to be honored,
the rest of them that laid off workers to keep the fat pay packets in the directors hip-pockets, hope you learn a lesson from this.
ps I know of one company that laid off 40 workers for about 60 days till the project was to start up again and then wondered why no one want's to work for them now.

Hi

According to the Fisheries website the sound is now closed for crabbing as of end of March.

On Monday 5th April while squdding i saw at least 5 boats putting out and pulling in crab nets.

Is this people not knowing about the ban or is the ban on or not?

Cheers

Headed out wide from Two Rocks on Monday water was lumpy as,plan was to go through some close in patches and see if the fish were on the bite.After a couple of hours and 4-5 patches and lumps I new this could be a slow day .Next patch and Jesse got a nice baldie,and then a Dhuie,around 5kg ,at least we had a feed.The drift was changing all the time every spot we drifted a different direction,frustrating.We thought things would pick up around 11 oclock as this was nearing high tide.There was plenty of fish on the sounder but most wern't biting.After leaving one spot I noticed a school of fish,after a drive back I seen it was a small lump with a big school on it first drop,hook up and dropped back down on again ,got four dhuies here and then thing went quiet ,I think the dropped fish and the released fish shut them down ,day ended up being a good one nine dhuies ,bigest 8kg a baldie ,blackass,sambo,and some small wrase and other bottom fish,all dhuies released without a release weight,in great condition .

HI

Where is a good place to catch yabbies for a feed?

cheers

Prison Boab near Derby

Far reaches of Barred. Big flattie, few small jacks but NO BARRA!

Thunderstorms of late

More BIG tides

Port of Broome

Willie Creek north of town. Lost 1 unseen after netting a few whiting, mullet and herring for bait but still... NO BARRA! Lol.

Enjoy the hols guys.

Wanting to upgrade my SLR so that I have a faster frame rate for capturing jump shots of barra and billfish. Pretty much decided on the 7D but I'm not loyal to any particular brand and am prepared to give the Nikon a go if someone can convince me. Canon has 18 megapixels versus 12.3 on the Nikon and 8 fps versus 7 although I'd say this is negligible. I've considered the 50D as a cheaper option but I'd like to do HD video recording as well so that pretty much counts out that model.

Nothing is open, not even Bunnings, no morning paper, no footy, no nothing. I reckon it really needs to be treated like a normal public holiday, at least then some businesses still open and our options are much better. Oh well, time for a new beer.

Cheers
Dale

Any one else doing it on Fox Sports web site? I'm looking for a league to join.

Cheers

Howdy all, someone with a very large shark cat is staying at Penny Palms at present, arrived there sometime over night on Wednesday and was parked up just across from my room. Does it belong to anyone frequenting this web site? Very nice looking fishing rig it was, but would have been struggling to pull it with anything other than a very large 4WD or truck. Called Old Tom or something.

Cheers
Dale

hello all,

just a quick qus if anyone would know what kind of lure they were using in the "TOPWATER COD"   section?

any info would be very helpful such as brand or even better model.

thanks all and happy hoildays

Hey guys, my son is thinking of going fishing tomorrow somewhere from rocko to freo. Can anyone help with a location and what he is likely to catch

Howdy, my mate just got a new boat(18ft) so we are taking it out to cockburn sound to get the feel of it before we go any where far.

Just wondering on what we should expect to catch what kinda rigs would be most beneifical and the line class we should be using- ive been fishing the l\moles recently so im spooled with 50lb.. is this overkill or ill find a 10kilo fish ? :D   also getting teh crab pots set up - what length rope would i need? how deep does cockburn get?    anyone want to toss me some gps co-ords for decent fishing in cockburn or surrounding areas?

many thanks and tight lines,

Dwayne 

to all fishwrecked members.....have a safe easter break...the roads will be busy so take extra care...

With all this talk of recent time about Aust. Salmon what do you all do with these fish?  Release or eat?  Very popular smoked in NZ but for some reason smoked fish hasn't a big following here in Oz.

With having the last couple of days off work it was time to get my butt into gear with exmouth only around the corner now !

Finally onto the last rod to bind up, and a heap more to epoxy, but finally the end is near.

Oh and dont stress Frank (Decella), i will show you a pic when they are all finished !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
