Me mate just got back flatty fishing the swan and was amazed to see a picture with him in it with a 50+cm giant herring. Hooking up to several but only landing the one. Big flattys, solid bream, schools of healthy tailor everywhere and now giant herring. Who said the river was unhealthy?

Had call from Beau yesterday afternoon,to see if I was able to head out with him around Garden Island on the Ski's. 

The conditon's were ideal for trolling around the reefs,and we had a ball catching these tailor.

Anyone know if spanish mackerel are being caught behind the islands in Jurien Bay?

Hi, haven't posted before but have followed many of the threads for a while.  Have made a concerted effort to get out for the last couple of weeks from Hillarys, even in the rougher weather.  Bit of a novice and frustrated so far by the lack of crays and also what seems to be someone who has 'moved' or taken a couple of our pots.  I'm hoping they turn up but looked all around our area and nothing this morning.  Has anyone else been having any more luck?

Me and a mate went for a shore dive today to get a few fish for the freezer, ended up with a nice grouper some swallowtail and a harlequin. Had a shark follow us on the way back so jumped out and sent out a fish head and had some fun.

Someone should be on here soon to do the writing

Hey Guys / Girls

I have a mate down from the South West and was thinking about trying to go out tomorrow for some squid in Cockburn Sound. Does anyone know if there is some squid still around? Someone told me that Winter is the time to get them.

Any info is appreciated

Cheers

Hi all,

A friend and I are looking to head down Dawesville way at the weekend.  Has anyone fished the cut recently?

We will be landbased - Are any of the rock walls/groynes doing well right now?  Also, what can we expect to catch down there at this time of the year?

Thanks in advance,

SOTR

It has been a great year 2012 for me. I've a few great photos and catches to showcase for memories. No wild fishing this time but all are fishing ponds located in different part of Thailand.

Fishing in Thailand required great amount of local knowledges and experience. To be able to organise and make angler's dream come true for their big catch are something I take it seriously and with due diligent.

Hope you guys enjoys my youtube collections for 2012.

G'day

With me and a mates new tub sitting in the driveway and a day off work, we decided to head out and get amongst it. We heading out of Hillary's at about 9:30am with the weather looking pretty good. We had the trolling gear on board with the hopes of getting amongst some metro tuna. After about 2 or 3 hours of fruitless trolling and the usual copious amounts of sh1t being talked we thought this may be a bit of a fruitless outing. Decided that we would head it a little closer to the reef. A quick rip in a little closer and the lures were back in the water, as we were searching for our CD case (only so long you can listen to the same tunes!) all three rods buckled over and it was on, our first bit of action for the day and a triple hook up! All three buckled over at exactly the same time. With just two of us on board it was mayhem... but the good kind, I'm sure ya' all know what I'm talking about.

Thinking we had finally run into a school of tuna, we were both pleasantly surprised to see 3 YTK's on the deck. After a quick high 5 we released all three successfuly. The three first fish weren't the biggest fish in the world ranging from 55 - 65cm. Great fun never the less on an otherwise slow day.

Ended up trolling past another spot close by an picked up a single larger fish that went 90cm and then another slightly smaller 80cm (fish pictured). Managed a few more smaller ones and called it a day. Kept one each of the larger models for a bit of a feed and released the rest. As well as dropping a couple more.

I think we landed 7 ish fish in the end could have been a couple more.

The thing we noticed was, we hit two hot spots. One spot held the smaller models and the other the larger fish. Interesting to observe.

Great day while the demersal ban is on. Nothing like a session on the metro YTK's on a tuesday arvo to induce a couple smiles between a couple mates...

Cheers for listening.

Hi all,

I rencently fished the top end of Fraser Island on the east coast. Conditions were fantastic and by lunchtime we had picked up some good fish but the sharks were flogging the hell out of us on just about every spot. We still managed some good fish including some nice reds and good mixed bag of reefies.

I dropped the underwater camera down on a spot where sharks were giving us grief and captured some great footage. Some big sharks cruised past the camera while red emperor, morwong, amberjack, green jobfish and hussar were in plain view.

I came back to that spot just on dark hoping the sharks may have moved on. Trent pulled this awesome red just under 17kg on the first drop so to say we were happy was an understatement.

The next day was pretty quiet so we decided to have troll for some Billies. The action was insane with loads black marlin being caught left right and centre. We had 3 or more fighting over the lures and double hooks were a common sight. We trolled for just over 2 hours and ended up going 31-18-8 which was just crazy. I ended up with 4, Trent 3 and the Oldman 1. We trolled Pakula cockroaches in Lumo and purple (frigate) and micro sprockets in lumo all on 8kg line. We broke one gamagatsu SL12's hook and bent the tips on a couple dojo hooks as well which didn't help our conversion rate as I'm not sure how long the hooks were damaged for.

  I went out Whiting fishing on Sunday arvo and after a slow start found some flats with rocks and shallow holes. We started getting Whiting chasing down and smashing our lures more akin to something ive seen in Salmon before. Some were having like 5 goes at the lures.........It was amazing visual fishing! Some of the fish were around 35cm so they pulled HARD on light gear was a blast!

Anyhow we went back Monday arvo and things were different only got 3 solid connections 2 of which i hooked while winding really fast to try and elicit a response........the Whiting seemed a lot more sluggish and followed our lures without hitting them. I tried going smaller lures same story, tried minnows nil.......only difference was the breeze was in more from the SW ( more of an onshore ) on Sunday and we had caught 8 of the thumpers out of the area on the Sunday. Love to hear of other experiences on this style of fishing

 Summers coming, time to pull out the cranks and start smashing some boat hulls, pontoons, flats and basically anything else!! Heres a few of mine from todays efforts. Majority were over 30, biggest was around 32-33cm. The first fish was completely visual when it hit, followed it in and then i watched it as it slowly pursued and then i paused the lure and it bumped the Atomic and got the hooks in him!! Dropped a few and missed some solid hits, had to leave them biting though :( Heres a few photos :)

 Has anyone caught any mulloway around Perth from the land lately

 hey guys just thought i would let anybody chasing sharks know went down to south mole last night and our group of 4 guys landed 7 black tip reef sharks and hooked up and lost maybe another 7 every body else around us getting them to just baitcasting mulies good fun of light gear may try again tomoz good luck.

had a good day on the water today, the yellowfin were playing the game with the odd dollie thrown in for good luck

caught these this evening north west of barrow island all fish were caught on handlines, theres a few sore fingers this evening.

we also caught rainbow runners, stripey and mack tuna and one giant shark.

biggest yellow fin was 26kg and the dolly went 124 cm shame i didnt get a photo for the record board before he was released.

saw a strange shark today couldnt get a photo unfortunatly but it looked a bit like a bronzie except it had really long pectoral fins with white tips and a white tipped dorsal fin, ive never seen one before, anyone have any ideas??

enjoy the pics boys, some good advantages of working at sea

Here is a couple of soft plastic dhuies pulled from 20 mtrs 2 days ago and of course released without harm.... 

Jurien Bay Crays from the last couple of days,

 Hey fellow Fishwreckers,

Just went thisarvo to pull the pots for the first time and have got a pot snagged in 21m NW of Mindarie - the other pot had a ridiculous amount of scuff marks on the bait lid and inside the neck but alas no crays???

Im thinking the pots that were next to eachother may have been pulled by someone ( only ever got crays in pots after that amount of scarring)

and the other one may have been slid along the bottom rather than pulled straight up - like a novice that pulls pots from the side rather than walking up the rope first and going vertical - ive not had a pot snagged in the last three years doing that even on the rough stuff.Or its just baaaad luck. who knows...

Anyway, whatever has happened i need to get this pot off the bottom and was planning a trip out on Sat morning....id like to offer someone a trip out for a dive in return for getting this pot off the reef.

As im not a diver, i would be happy to take two (if someone wants a dive buddy) and am happy to sit at anchor nearby until you have had a nice dive.

My boat is a 6m centre console with dive ladder, if that helps.

Thanks in advance 

Joffa.

 Found this little fella crawling around on the deck this morning after dropping the pot back in the water. Cool looking dude was only about 20mm long! I wonder how long he'll take to get to legal.

Also got these two today and one undersize red yesterday. Didn't like my chances getting anything with the full moon not far away, but always happy to be suprised. Makes getting out of bed easier in the morning.

Cheers 

P.S hope the photos work first time trying to do it, they were taken on the phone so might not be too flash.

Went out on Thursday night with a mate for a beach session (ballpark South of Hillarys, North of City Beach ).

Went to pick up some bait and the tackle shop was suffering from small Mulie syndrome so I decided to go for the Scalie Mackerel option, seems like it was a good call.

Got to the beachabout 7pm  wind was howling SSWish and waves where fairly pumping in.

Sent out a paternoster with a scalie on. Within 20-30 mins caught my first ever Mulloway, read 480mm on the tape and was sent back home.

Chucked a few more baits out, where either getting snaffled or destroyed by the swell.

I left a bait out and went to talk to my mate down the beach. As I was walking back noticed rod was no longer sitting in PVC pipe, looked towards the water and it was in the whitewash making it's way out to Rotto. Pulled it in and this was attached. This was about 8pm.

I know its not the biggest (640mm) and usually won't keep fish, hence the name, but my neighbour was promised any catch from the night and I've been targetting a Mulla for a while to no avail so I needed a photo record.

Anyone chasing the species it may be worth a crack in the North Metro area. 2 Mulloway in 1 hr, one sized, left the beach by 9:15 with a decent fish.

Weather was looking gloomy yesterday but decided to head down to the area south of the river to try my luck with the flatties. Finally started picking them up around 630 in the evening. Hit a total of 5 within the hour, longest was 35cm. All were released. Good luck fishing!

Hi guys,

Anyone been up to Ledge Point and Lancelin recently and can tell me what is biting at the moment? We will be LB fishing. Any hot tips greatly appreciated.
