just wondering if anybody has had any luck SOR for tailor gummies mulloway etc? as i havent had much luck last cpl of weeks...

Hi Guys thought you might like to hear from this side of the Border.

After recently rewiring part of my Boat on Friday 14/10/11 I finally got back on the water - Eventually.

Got up before sunrise with the aim of heading out to try for Snapper early and then try for some whiting.  Pulled the boat out of the shed and got it ready. Just as I was about to depart I could see a rippled patch heading my way across the water.  Decided to wait and soon afterthe winds hit followed by some rain.  Pushed boat back into shed and went back to bed.  Got up at 9am and had breaky and a coffee.  Winds then started to drop though it was still raining in patches.  Pulled boat out and headed for the ramp with a freind's 13 year old son in tow.  He has never been in a boat before.  Lauched and sat him in the cabin as we went out of the bay through the rian.  Headed out around Pt Riley and out of the bay as it was clearer out there. once there no rain.  Rigged/baited him up and then dropped my own line in.  He caught a tommy (Herring) followed by myself with two nice whiting. 

There was a small swell and he said he was not feeling well.  Tried to convince him to keep fishing thinking he would overcome it if he started catching a few taking his mind off it but to no avail.  Took him back in dropping him on the beach then headed back out to Pt Riley.

Went over a few sand/reef patches with a nice drop off into the sand so stopped and dropped anchor. shortly after bang I'm on with a nice size KG whiting. back in and 1 minute later I'm on again. 

At this time I'm watching thunder storms pass up the middle of the Gulf further out (west) and alls ok.  By the time I had 11 in the esky and a squid in the bucket I note another thunder storm further south heading in my direction.  This one is not going to pass by out further.  Oh well won't complain being one off the bag limit (12 with one person on board in SA) so rods in and head in to get back into the bay and aorund the point before the storm arrives.  Prior to departing I put all the rods (graphite) flat in the boat just in case - particularly the ones in the rod holders above the fuel tank!!! 

Headed in and got to 300 metres from the marina breakwall when the 76km/hr winds and heavy rian hit (felt sorry for the few boats I had passed still sitting out on Pt Riley).  Threw the sounder GPS and phone inside the cabin and then pulled up at the pontoon to note two boats in front of me in all sorts of trouble - one was facing backwards with no idea.  Made sude I tied off securely and went to help retreiving the first boat and then the second after turning it around.  Got to the car - by this time I'm soaked through.  Put a towel on the seat and reversed down and hauled up my boat.  Went back home and pushed the boat into the shed and then scaled the KG's and put them on ice (they could wait till tommorrow).  Hot shower and a bourbon saw me right follwed by down the pub for tea.

Following day filleted the fish and cleaned (dried) out the boat which had water over every thing even up in the cabin as the rain was horizontal).  All in all a great day and can't wait to do it all again - good to be back on the water

Few piccys of the kg's below - between 34-40cm

PS the same front later went through Pt Pirie further north dumping golf ball sized hail - glad I didn't have that to contend with at the ramp.

Cheers Paul

Caught these browns at Harvey last week. Finally tied the killer fly for these fish. All caught with the same fly on a #4wt.

Snakehead or in asia we call them "haruan", the smaller family of Giant Snakehead (Toman) is one of the fishes you will get to fish if you happen to  fish in the wild dam.

The fry MAMA season is coming to and end  soon as Thailand slowly change the season from raining to cool season.

I'll be targeting those individual toman in the deep water using deep diver lures like risto rap.

The fights and strength of these individual toman fishes are much stronger than those fry MAMA.

Beside toman, there will be wild sebarau (jungle perch) to fish in the wild.

Haruan is also one of the smaller game fish we can lure fishing in the wild.

One of my target fish for 2012 will be featherback (belinda) fish . I'm going for ambitious mission of targeting this wonder fish on lure in Dec.

Wait for my catch report then.

In the meantime, enjoys one of my snakehead (haruan) trip I done recently at the dam.

The challenge and the unknown catch in the wild , make every anglers  eager to go back for more.....

 hi all , just returned from our annual tailor trek.

As tailor lovers ( not in that way haha) would know , big swells and reef stalking dont mix.

We had only 2 good sessions out of a possible 5 , but still enjoyed the challenge.

wed ,thurs last week 2 metre swell ,thurs nite , and up till now 4 metre swell .

no weed , light to moderate winds.

as usual got totally stiched up by a couple of bigger ones ,but hope you can 

 smell the sea air in the following pics.( bait) ,sanmars and gardies, with ghost cotton

to hold them together.(transport) ,what else quad bikes.

Got this silver bream on Sunday morning in the marina.

Weight was 950g nothing spectacular

Only bit of action for 2.5hours fishing.

anyone had any luck in the marinas lately?

Fisheries research recorded a striped marlin caught not far off the back of rotto on wednesday. Does anyone know any more details??

 Has anyone had any luck chasing SBT this season.

Spent the first week of School holidays in Jurien with the wife and kids plus our usual holidaying companions.

Weather was crap the first 3 days so we did the usual drink and eat too much waiting for all the weather sites to tell us lies as usual.

Anyway we got out on 3 days with half decent weather.

First day found lots of ground with loads of undersize Pinkies and Jewies 8 mile out. 

Amoungst the small stuff we did find some good size fish but it was hard work. Kept a couple of size pinkies but they were not massive.

Day 2 we finnaly found the Jewies we were after 20 mile out. 2 good size eating fish and we released a much better fish but hey thats the bag rules these days. Picked up a queen snapper and once again loads of small pinkies and undersize Jewies with a sambo thrown in for fun.

Capped off the trip on day 3 with a cracker skippy which we released, 2 Baldies and 2 pinkies for the bag limit.

Lots of fresh fish for dinner in the comming weeks.

By the way Jurien sea rescue were great, Loads of help with constant weather updates. Thanks to them for keeping an eye/ear on us. 

Check the pics below. We are wearing PFDs because of some close calls with whales on recent trips. My mate had a Humpback breach and kick the boat so better safe then sorry hey.

went out this morning off rocko for a bash, perfect conditions on the 5, managed a nice pinky and a queen snapper by 9.30am, as well as a visit by fisheries both on the water and back at the ramp. good to see they are keeping watch.my deckie went a little berzo when they got close to the boat though. (decky picture is my avatar)lol.

 A couple of mates and i were planning on getting a little jiggy on Tuesday and Wednesday after we saw the forecast the gear was packed and we headed over to Rotto early Tuesday morning hoping the weather would play ball. Unfortunately it didn’t and the 20kn SW made things a bit uncomfortable, we decided to head north to try and gain refuge which didn’t seem to make much difference. We spent a few hours looking for ground and were close to retiring early when a bit of nice ground popped up. My Eupro jig had hardly hit the bottom before it got smash by a good fish, I lost this fish soon after due to a assist giving out but I was fairly sure it was a nice dhu and next drop resulted in another instant hookup and I managed to land my first Dhu on Jig.

I landed 3 more dhues and my mates using bait couldn’t get a touch besides this nice snapper. We decided to head in and get settled for the night.

We awoke to a beautiful morning with no wind and were soon out in the ocean heading for the deep. First stop was the barge and after the first three fish got sharked we decided to move on and not long after had the jigs bouncing over some likely looking territory. First drop resulted in a sambo and a monster bronzy which had us worried there were more around but that was the last run in with the men in grey. We lost count but we ended up with around 20 odd sambos, 5 pinks and couple of ambers for the day when we decided to head in for the trip home in perfect conditions.

We decided to make the what is turning to be the annual pilgrimage to Coral Bay again this year for yet another great trip.  Left Perth about 9pm on Friday the 16th September for a nice long trip in convoy with my parents to arrive at Bayview at around 1pm, got the sites setup and had a great sleep for the night!  Myself and the old man both had new Pajero’s for the trip and both performed well with better than expected fuel, dad towing the boat (6.5m Chivers), me towing a trailer with the kayaks.

The general for the trip was a bit of a pumping swell and some wind, I guess that’s a bit expected for September (last year we did a May trip).  We got out on the Monday for a spin with the winds up we decided for a troll around the back of the reef from the North Passage.  26m of water the way, not long into it we hit macky central – issue number one – all mackys undersize at between 75 and 85cm – issue 2 – race the sharks.  I could swear the sharks knew what lures meant and followed them.......  Regardless, we did well and kept most of the macks safe, but once we did get any of size, there was no way to land them, so a bit of a bottom fish was in order.  We started trolling out of the patch to some old marks close by and bang, one of the crazy deeps was hammered – result , a good fight for Dad and a nice Red Bass (edit from Crimson Perch) for dinner. 

Not long after we stopped and under the boat and it was macks and sharks swimming everywhere, half the time we had 5 sharks under the boat, and couldn’t shake them.  They cleared off and we got some placys and jigs down.  I kept getting hit by macks for no luck, then Dad struck again, a nice Rankin on the plastics – and his first fish on a plastic. 

After this we had enough of the staring at whales, turtles, and 3m swell, so plugged back into the ramp.

Weather for the next day was shocking, so we decided to stay on land and booked a charter for Wednesday – Seaforce was the only one operating, so out with them we went.  Not too bad of a day, lots of reds caught, most undersize, fairly large sea but the boat handled it well.  We ended up with some Spanglies, Honeycomb Cod, Pearl Perch and a Trevally – nothing spectacular, but it was nice to get out for a day, get some good fish and not have to clean up for a change! 

Thursday was again a disaster weather wise, so we grabbed the kayaks (4 hobies, two outbacks with mirage drive and a couple of quests for the girls).  Took them to the boat ram and headed down to Five Finger reef, outside the sanctuary.  Well we were pumping into a pretty stiff southerly, so it ended up that me and dad towed the girls, at least we got some exercise.  Went for a swim for about an hour over the reef, lots of nice corals, but no fish worth chasing.  Still a nice way to spend the arvo.

Friday, yet again a blower, but decided to have another crack at some macks – again, sharks everywhere.........  Trolled from North to South passage, but the only producing one was the shark patch.  On the way back I did hook up to a size macky, unfortunately for fear of sharks, ended up pulling the hooks next to the boat!

The Saturday and Sunday didn’t look overly good so it was off for a trip to Exmouth for the first time.  Stopped in at Tackleworld to replenish the lure supplies (damn sharks) and headed up around the Cape for a look around and to take some pictures.  Nice day and it was good to get out for a drive.  On the Sunday we again jumped into the kayaks, this time paddled out to the outer reef for a snorkel and feed the Spanglies, they always impress, love swimming around this place!

Monday came and so did some nicer weather.  Headed out with dad and a mate Simon straight to the 60’s to start with.  Finally we were able to get out a bit to a day that got better as it went.  First drift over the corals and almost immediately onto the fish.  Got a couple of tomato cod then a school of Trevally moved in, picked up a few nice size ones, then we all though I was sharked, but nope, a nice size trevally instead, great fight, and tasted quite nice too.  

Went a bit quite, so off to find some new ground.  Found an area that came up gradually 5m in the 70’s, started with a few honeycomb cod, then bang, a rod loads up,

excellent result in a beautiful red for Simon. 

After that picked up a Saddletail snapper and a Rankin then again moved in search of more ground.  Not too far away, another bit of coral found, and a school of Spanglies to go with it.  Now we decided it was a good day so went out to the 100m mark.  Didnt have much time out there before the wind picked up, but did get a visit from a dolphin fish – beautiful sight the electric blues on the fins.  Simon hooked him a couple of times on a placcy but not well enough unfortunately, and I had a few follows on poppers.  Out went the skirts for a troll back towards the south passage.  Stopped off for a drift at another coral patch in the 60’s, and here we found a nice school of Reds, got another couple sized then decided to have another chase at the mackys, no luck until.  ...Shark spot.....  Great fun, but result, a broken rod to Simon after a bit of exhaustion – damn good fight though for the half hour leading up to it!  Back to the ramp and the cleaning tables - the days catch.

Tuesday was a day with the missus, having a lazy one, bit of snorkelling, making rigs and doing nothing – needed it!

Wednesday for my birthday was a spin out in the kayaks again to swim with the ever so friendly spanglies and another lazy afternoon.

Thursday – back on the water with Dad.  Brilliant day again, only going to the first 3 spots and bagging by lunch time.  Ended with a few good tomato cod, a small red, another saddletail, some spanglies, a trevally, rankin and a couple of pear pearch. 

Was a nice, easy, enjoyable morning on the water.   Even had a sail swim under the boat and managed to land one of the annoying sharks (albeit a lot smaller than the ones in the macky patch!!)

Friday – perfect weather, dad decided he wanted to relax and start packing, so I went out with my Simon from the other day.  Though we would hit up the deep and what an amazing day it was.  3 hours bottom fishing and the bag limit was achieved.  First drop resulted in a nice goldband, then a sharking – this had us thinking the day wasn’t going to be soo good.  Next thing, 5 bronzies come from nowhere, smash around the back of the boat, then disappear....  strange things..

Reset the drift, couple of red throats and a spanglie, then bang, 4 nice reds in a row. 

Me and my first of the day.

Simon and his first of the day

Deciding not to get more reds, moved about 500m to look for new ground and started drifting, result in a few nice goldy’s.  Once last drift at the previous spot got a dpouble header of big goldy’s and a full bag. 

During this tiem we also had a Marlin swim under the boat so out when the lures for the trip home.  No hits after about 30 mins, so in they came, just as we powered off there was a fish jump in front of us, out they went again.  Instantly there was a sail playing behind our lures, 2 hits on each then gone – still was a nice way to finish he day.  Then as usual, a whale playing in the water, leaping, tail flapping and putting on a show – I knew I wouldn’t want to go home the next day........

Goldy for dinner, then off to bed, Packed up the site next morning and back in Perth at 2am the next day.

Was a wonderful trip again to Coral bay and has me itching to get back there.  Makes it even harder when I only work 3hrs inland from there........

Was keeping a close eye on Seabreeze during the recent weekend and it looked like Tuesday was going to be the go for a fish before the ban takes place. It then quickly changed to Wednesday (today) as being the day to go out for a fish and some text messages to Fishntime to arrange the times. I had my doubts as the Almanac said that the day was not a good one for fishing. I managed to wrangle a day off work by changing my RDO around at work and all it meant was making sure that I got up at 4:20am to go for a fish. A quick trip past the servo to fuel up the boat and then past to pick up Fishntime and we were off to Woodies Point. We launched and the sun was poking its head up over the horizon with a light Easterly (I think, too bloody early) and a relatively flat ocean. Shot out to 37m where we picked up a nice KG Whiting, a sized black arse which went back as 32cm still seems small when you look see the fish and a small dhu fish. Not much happening out there so we came back in to the Five in search of some Pinkies. No idea where to start so we went over to a spot I dive with mates for crayfish and dhuies in 20m. First drift with not much action. Second drift and it was on. They weren't wrasse bites, they were solid tugs each time a fish hit the bait. I pulled up two dhu fish on seperate drifts that were sized and a couple of small ones were brought to the boat and released and many more that didn't leave the bottom. Then on another drift Allen hooks up to a big one. He gets it to the side of the boat and we could see early on that it was a big one. We net it and it was a very solid, fat one and it was about the 10kg mark. As we already had two on board, it had to go back. Whilst it was on the deck, it was regurgitating up whole baby mullies and it stunk. The fish were hot for about 20 minutes and then nothing again. A couple of more drifts and the call was made. Headed back in with no wind and dead flat. Ended up pulling up 6 dhu fish, 3 sized black arse (all went back), tarwhine, skippy and a leather jacket. Allan can update the post if I left anything out.

Ps. Sorry Allan we had to return your monster. And appologies for the photos being 90 degrees out.

Went down to the local this morning at about 10am while there was no wind and the tide was low.

Chucked out Squidgy Wrigglers for a few hours and hooked a few small flatties. All went back to get bigger and fight another day.

Can anybody recommend a beach SOR that's good for bigger flatties, as all that seem to be around here are tiny ones. Or do they go out deep when they are bigger?

Was still a bit of fun, a great morning to be down the beach :)

Went for a fish on the five sat night for 2 hrs and had a blast! Fishing with 80lb handlines and a flicki just for a laugh me mate and I landed 4 snapper, 2 dhueys ,1 sambo that had to of been 20kgs bout 1.4 meters !!! And a double hook up of port jacksons!! Left with the one snapper 64cm and one dhuey 55cm and a skippy off the flicki! 3 snapper undersized and one Dhuey under. Apparently sambo get worms or don't taste good when big so we let the big fella go was a nice fish!!! wait to head back out with the rods for a proper run!!!' One of the best times fishing haha the sambo went off! a crazy two hour session!

Hi all

The weather was looking ok so we ditched our Saturday golf game in favour of getting out on the water again, so with my regular fishing/diving buddy, we hit the ramp at 6.30am and headed out thru the Cut to where I fished last Saturday. The water wasn't as calm which made our trip a bit slower. After a brief encounter with a whale, we arrived at the first spot and after sounding around and working out our drift, we got some baits in the water. 

There were fish all over the sounder but nothing seemed real hungry, but we were getting continual bites but nothing big.

Then in quick succession my buddy caught an undersized pinky (30cm) and I caught an undesized dhuie (38cm)...both released to fight another day. Then I caught a nice sized skippy...hoping for a few more but not to be. 

Decided to head out further to where I'd caught the nanny last Saturday and after a fruitless hour of drifing and moving the boat, I caught a nice nanny (44cms) while my buddy caught a nice blackarse (37cms).

Calling it a day, we headed home....came across another whale, pretty cool to see 2 in the 1 day!

Now here's the strange bit....when cleaning the nanny, I dragged what looks like a partly decomposed baby barracuda....correct me if I'm wrong...out of its stomach.....see the other photos. It was about 8" long and fairly jammed in there. Didn't know we got these down here, but maybe it's something that just looks like a 'cuda.

Back to reality today....mowing lawns.

 I got up to Sandy Capes on Tuesday for a couple of nights with the plan on taking no food and no bait and living Malcolm Douglas style. The pressure was on and at one stage thought we might be going hungry hehe.

We got the dinghy out on Wednesday and was treated to some perfect conditions, we threw some lures out whilst going though the breakers and it didn’t take long for the skirt to go off. My Mate’s biggest fish to date was a 4kg Spango so we had a target to beat and from this fish’s fist run, we knew this fish would smash it. He fought the fish for over 10mins before it ran into the reef and left us scratching our heads, It was only 4m where the fish grabbed the lure so I was thinking either sambo or BIG pinky. Flat and disappointed we headed out and started looking for some ground. We trolled around for around for 3hours with not much coming up on the sounder and no action from the lures.

It was now 11:30 and we hadn’t landed anything so I decided to start heading in and resort to Skippy when I found some nice ground, lures down and I was getting a few bumps and then finally a little dhue lifted our spirits. 

We measured and were pleased when he went 550mm, we did another drift and again I got another dhue followed by another both were around the same size and went back. Next drift I hooked up solid and was loosing alot of line before he spat the hook. We decided to have one more drift as our bellies were rumbling, this time it was my mates turn to hook up, the fish took some line and got him in the reef, with some drag cranking he managed to free the fish and landed the first baldy in the dinghy and probably the biggest I have seen landed at 5.5kg.

We well and truly had a good feed now and headed in with Breaching whales saying goodbye. 

Thanks for reading Miles

hi guys just wondering if there are any tailor and what not biting SOR

No matter how many times I fished the wild !!! How many monster  toman I fished. The kicks and addiction is always there.

Constantly looking for more difficult terrains to test out my fishing skills and knowledge. No angler will be crazy like me to drive almost 800KM in between dams to hunt for monster toman. I think only me !!! haha !!!

You got to be constantly adapting N changing to different tactics when come to wild fishing in Thailand.

Well after watching the eagles in dispair me and my mates decided to go for a fish.We didnt really want to go to far but just drop a line in anyway.So after gathering some old scalies and prawns out the freezer we were set.When we got there around 7.30 conditions were really still not much of a breeze and the most part of one side to our selves.So we set up found a good spot to cast and set up hopeing for anything really as we just wanted a laugh and to relax.Well 10 mins past and i started to get some solid whacks on my rod so i watched in anticipating hopeing.But then nothing so i went and sat down again well as i did my mates rod next to me starts lurching around mind you to he had just basically cast and then bang it started running.So he runs over to it and starts fighting it but then it just starts going all over the place headshakes and all then it started going straight down the wall.Oh no we yelled as he proceeded to follow it but it then changed direction and came straight at him.We thought what a relief so he finally gets it to him in front of the rocks but it decided to go under the rocks we thought ping for sur being that we use braid But then luckily he managed to lift the line up and up pops a 1.25 metre and 7kg gummy shark. couldnt beleive it we wernt even going to go out tonight.

Made up fo the eagles losing we were stoked after that things went a bit quiet so i thought id chuck out one last prawn on my flicky to see what i could get.

Then whack whack on drag starts taking i thought this feels alright then after a short battle i pull in my first salmon trout just 34cm but a god fight all the same so all in all a good night here are some pics.

Hi all, first post on the site!

Anyways, myself and 2 mates decided to head up to Mindarie rockwall yesterday and cast out some mullies hopefully tempting some skippy. We arrived at about 10am and the weather was good with little or no wind and calm sea. A Flathead was first, then one mate must have hooked a big stringray that he couldnt stop! He spent close to a hour trying to bring what ever it was in only for it too break off close in. Finally hooked in a skippy just as the wind was building about a 1 hour later.

Was a bit poor then after that with the wind a tide out, all bites stopped and only managed a small stingray.

Might head up again this arvo!

Decided Saturday to go test my newly aquired Daiwa Emcast with my Euro SPRO FFWD 14ft rod and some other gear North of Perth. Arrived at destination 1pm - first cast and I am loving the Emcast - smooth as silk and cast a mile. Got knee deep into the water and casted close to some reef structures and the Skippy's went wild. Pulled 4 out and kept 2 of 35cm / 40cm irrespectively, left for home after my handle (just above the fuji reel section) shattered at about 6pm. Got home - cut the damaged section away and refitted the blank to my newly altered 13ft Shimano 1468 Exage. (Hope my handy work does the trick)

Sunday morn up before dawn, took a stroll down to the beach with my richter plugs and spinning gear. After 30 minutes with no luck I moved onto location 2. Second cast and I hooked my first ever Tailor on a a richter lure. Nice shakes and a couple of heavy pulls and a great test for my repaired Okuma CJ55S and 2 min later she came out onto the beach. Loved the feel of the lure being smashed and absolutly stoked to have my mission accomplished this morn - "to catch a tailor on a richter lure" - (caught all my tailor and most of my fish in my lifetime with live or dead bait before converting now to lures.)

Good start to my 2 week fishing excursion in and around Perth as I send the missus and kids abroad for 2 weeks!!!!!!

Hi all

After watching the weather all week, I hit the ramp this morning at 06.30 and headed out thru the Cut with high expectations of a good day on the water. Hitting the open water, the water looked pretty good, even though there was as bit of swell. My backup plan to running down the coast to the Bouvards was to go wide if the water was ok. 

Plan B was kicked into action and I headed out to a spot I'd marked a few months ago, but never got to fish on....at a lazy 20knts, I was there in an hour. After sounding around a bit I found what I was looking for and set up the sea anchor to take in the light drift. The sounder was looking good, as seen on the 1st photo.

It didn't take long before the squid bait was being chomped by something....lots of picking going on down there, then the first fish to the surface as a nice but undersize pinkie...released without harm. Then came a small reef fish (species unknown...also released unharmed), followed by what looked like a juvenile baldie....same colour and overall appearance, but without the distinctive white chin. That also went back successfully.

Then came the big one....as seen in the 2nd photo. After a few minutes of excited anticipation of a decent dhuie, it turned out that I was snagged....bugger....it never felt like a snag.

As the ocean was calming off, and aided by that light easterly breeze, I decided to head out to the 50m line where I'd caught fish before. When I got to my spot, I found myself in the shipping lane...check out the 3rd and 4th photo. 

It wasn't long before I was hooked into something....a real fish this time. I boated my first nannygai....@ 55cms it was a welcome addition to my empty esky. In all the excitement while bringing this one in, a had a whale surface and blow off, approx. 150m from me...that was something pretty special. By the time I'd got the nanny into the boat, the whale was gone.

I fished on for a bit longer, without much luck, but time was against me so @ 11.45am I headed home. The ocean had flattened right off and for most of the trip home I was sitting on 27 - 30kns....the 125 Optimax was singing and the Trailblazer was cruising...check out the 5th photo.....speed is displayed on the top left hand corner of the HDS8m.

It was the best day out on the water and I had it all to myself.....well, in the boat at least. Once home, a quick photo before cleaning up and filleting the nanny, ready for the pan tomorrow night. 

I hope everyone else who ventured out, had a great time on the water.
