Nice morning on the water, plenty of kingies for the deckies (5 in total) and a nice YFT for me.

My young blokes first kingie, he was pretty happy.

 Did a dive from Mindarie this morning Bagged out mostly whites ,back of three mile home by 8:30 will hit it again tommorow.

 just curios as to wether there has been any pelagics sighted or landed out from lancelin yet this season? Or even what the water temps are like?

Heading up next weekend and tossing up wether to troll some dead baits or not

Apreciate any info

G'day All

I know the weekend weather hasn't been crash hot over the past few weeks, but I'm interested to hear of any further reports of Metro Macs or YFTs? Apart from Paul G's Mac report a few weeks ago and John F's and Beau's report of a few YFTs, nothing of late?

Maybe everyone is in the same boat as me (pardon the pun), where it be the weekend weather, work, or silly season commitments that are hampering any possible efforts to get out there?

I'll be getting out there as soon as possible to chase birds and hopefully be the one to report back, but bl00dy silly season commitments will again prevent me getting out this weekend... :(

Cheers

Dont post too oftern just love a good read but thought I would let you know how we went on Sunday 8/12.

8 of us fishing for the bragging rights comp I set up between a few mates. 2 hours of fishing in the estuary in Bunbury/Australind for 1 whiting caught. He was DQ'd thou for a late weigh in. Rules are rules! So not much happening. Will be re doing it in Jan and double the pot!

 Walked from Club Capricorn to Jindalee this morning, water looking very good for tailor etc. Small patches of weed easy to avoid. Cople of very fishy looking places at Pipidinny and Sth of Yanchep Lagoon. Beach is fine for driving on.. No Terns and only a few gulls. Hardly anyone fishing, plenty of crazy 4wders though, as usual. Great stretch of beach, next time I am taking a lure rod for sure.

 Got a few more few this morning with Kasey and Alfred. Numbers have thinned out since the last dive but still plenty around. Whites have walked but there's a few stragglers around still. Viz was terrible with weed in most of the ledges. Next dive will be out rotto way I think!

Early dive this morning.

Few whites, few reds.

6m, good vis.

Can’t ask for much more than that!

Cheers

Hey guys, went down to palm beach jetty trying for some squid tonight about 7:45.  Got down had a look first and seen a good 6-8 squid around the weed patches up close to the jetty but I tried every jig I had from about 2.5 down to a 1.0 or so and they would come up have a go at the jig then swim off.  Very very flightly even with a bit of prawn on the barbs.  Other than that Saw people landed what looked like herring and seen a decent couple of crabs just swimming around looks like it should be an alright season down at the jetty for crabs this year.

 The tides seem to be really low at the moment in the river and it is the first time I have seen the South Perth Ferry cause waves to break over the shallows mid river.. Be careful when boating and be sure to stay in the channels..

hi fellas,

any black bream reports of late??? Seems to be a bit quiet on the blacky front, thought there may be more reports since the ban in effect, or is everyone gearing up for the 16th?

 I have noticed a couple of dinghy's on the swan between the narrows and Barracks St jetties over the last couple of days. Each boat has had about crab nets down. Anybody know if they are getting any?

 Just a quick report, I caught a good number of decent sized Chopper Tailor in Nedlands on poppers last..... but also had a reminder that even the small ones have a set of sharp teeth. 

:P 

I snuck out to chase a few Reds and Fingermark (Golden Snapper) with some mates last night. We couldn't raise a Live squid to save ourselves so had to be content to tempt the Fingermark into biting on frozen squid. We got 12 or 13 fish in total with a few Gold Spot Cod and Large Mouth Nannygai (Saddletail Snapper). We only got two Fingermark with the biggest going 73.5cm and Nikko got his PB at 62 cm. Nikko also got his PB Cobia at 103 cm so it was a good night for him!! The biggest Large Mouth was about 73 and biggest cod around 6 kilos.

Another Great Trip !!! Another Memorable Fishing Adventure !!!

This fishing trip is all about my australia angler's family.

The boys like to fish while the mother and her friend like to sightseeing and do some shoppings. How I made it happened so everyone can have a good times ?
It all come down to good plannings and excuting the plans myself.

While the boys were having fun fishing with me, the ladies were out shopping and sightseeings.
At the end of 7 days trip everyone gone back home happy.

The boys got their big fishes and the ladies got their shopping bags..:)

A picture tell a thousand words then should I say a video clip tell a million words.

I've compiled their wonderful 7 DAYS fishing vacation into a 7 mins clip. My little efforst I do it free for all my anglers who fish with me in Thailand. Personal touch I should say !!!

Enjoys all the actions.....wiith sound and fishing actions.. :)

1 DAY sightseeings to the river kwai and flotaing market plus elephant ride to start off the 7 days vacation trip. This allow anglers to adjust to asia time zone before the start of the fishing trips.

3 DAYS wild fishing trip for snakehead.

 sat tailor session with bro in law,  great 2 hour session, biggest went 500mm.

Spent the weekend on the beach near the Hutt River mouth and found Tailor to 75cm on the bite from lunchtime until sundown. Taken on mulies and scalies and even got a couple on surf poppers after reading about them on FW. A first! After dark the beasties moved in. 10 or so runs before 11pm for zero return. Most were obviously very large sharks but a couple were probably Mulloway as they dropped the Tailor fillet baits undamaged.

Cheers

Taylor with a couple of decent Tailor

Hooked up with silly on Friday morning to head out chasing yellowfin tuna after catching a few reports here (cheers John) that they were around.

Launched from Mindarie around 6.30am and spent a while motoring to where we wanted to start our run.  Dropped the lures in (one Laser Pro and two skirts) and trolled for about an hour without any action. The conditions were perfect but it made for quite uncomfortable trolling because it was hot and humid, there was only a light breeze and we were travelling with it so there was nothing to drop the temp down.  Still better than being at work I spose.

Things all changed pretty quickly though with - 1 - 2 - 3 - rods suddenly bending over with drag ratchets going mental.  I grabbed the first and Eugene grabbed another but my fish dropped the lure so I turbo wound the lure in and then grabbed the other rod and we both had some fun with fish reluctant to come to the surface.  We ended up boating two yellowfin one around 820mm and the other around 550mm.

Kept going for a while finding plenty of huge bait schools but not finding any fish around them before we had another couple of hookups.  I boated a stripey around 600mm and then a short while later Eugene dropped a fish before landing another yellowfin around the 800mm mark.

We thought we'd have a crack at dropping jigs on the flareups just off the bottom hoping for kings or sambos but after stuffing around for half an hour with a northerly that had picked up well beyond what we'd expected plus getting fed up with a recalcitrant sea anchor we decided to turn in.  We could only sit on around 12 knots heading in because of the wind and chop so we dropped two skirts out the back just incase and ended up with another stripey around 660mm for our troubles.

All up it was a great day on the water - caught some quality fish, met a new FW member and ended up with a great nosh-up later that evening.

(Got some reasonable GoPro footage which I'll put up later too.)

Thought I would post a picture of a fish for a change instead of my usual rude remarks.

Checked out the Leeuwin / Swan yacht club area this morning for flathead activity.

Did not appear to be much activity there at all. Caught a couple of just sized ones which were thrown back in, and one decent sized one (pictured) which came in at 51cms.

Although not that long it was quite wide and weighed in at 0.9 kg.

All flatheads were lethargic on the bite and on the runs; it was only just possible to differentiate them from clumps on seaweed being dragged in. Maybe due to the cold water ?

Hopefully things will warm up a bit in the near future.

 Fishwreckedivites, 

I am heading down to Busso this weekend to dive around the jetty and am hoping to slip in some fishing as well. 

What is running around there this time of year? and do any locals have any advice they would be willing to share, to ensure a succesful trip.

Cheers 

 Pulled four pots on the 3 mile off hillarys for one lousy undersized cray. Anyone getting them in the pots?

 Went out for a quick fish tonight and ended up with six good size Tailor. Ranging from 400mm-460mm.

They were on fire and still biting when I left.

all caught from Quinns Beach. This place has always been great for Tailor and Mullas.

A report for those thinking of jigging the wrecks at the back of Rotto.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ended up having a jig at the barges yesterday after all my sambo spots in the 30's and 40's were barren. Interesting as these spots have held big fish this time of year for the past few years, this year just the odd rat and even they were absent yesterday.

So, against all good judgement, we headed to the barges to see if reports the sharks were not there (report by a tackle shop....not the most reliable source given they sell jigs......) were true.

Lots of samsbos, and big ones, but just as many sharks. We dropped a jig at a few of the main ones (North Barge, Outer Barge), sharked within a minute. Left as soon as we were sharked, and went onto  a few other lessor known wrecks that are not on the maps.......sharks on all of them. Almost no chance of landing a fish.

This fishery is now stuffed, a complete waste of time unless you want to catch a shark, but bring big gear. My mate on PE6 fought one for 30 minutes, got a quick look at it before it just cruised away against full 16kg of Stella drag......

I hope charters are not still going out there. It will just result in lots of dead samson fish and a growing population of ever smarter sharks.

 Looks like the boys are in town,got 1 droped 1.good start to the season 

Its been over three weeks since returning from an Epic Trip which had been planned for some time over the last twelve months.
This was to be the first time for Simon and myself targeting Black Marlin on a five day live aboard charter with SeaFever Sports fishing.
the Annual Marlin comp had just been on and as we steamed out from Cairns and we where surrounded by some big name boats like Viking 2 Top Shot and the names go on and the Boats are spectacular to say the least.
It is well worth the visit to go to the Cock and Bull in Cairns as it is the CGF club rooms and the mounted granders and old footage of the Days Gone by are something to Marvel at.
the trip consisted of Popping in the morning and Marlin fishing from brunch till twilight.
The Popping was slow due to the slack tides from the full moon but we persisted and caught an array of GT Red Bass Mackerel also enticed a Sailfish but no cigar.
When you start deploying eight kilo yellow fin tuna as skip baits it really does open your eyes to how big these fish are.
This was as I mentioned our first marlin trip and to see a grander a mere two meters from the rear of the boat is something that cant be explained in text.
Well worth the money and effort to do this trip once in a life time.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

 Thanks to the fellas who posted some tips on where to have a flick in carnarvon unfortunaly due to bloody work time has run out but I like this town and I'm defiantly going to return with my boat in tow thanks again
