Hi Guys

Thinking of getting a boat around 6 metre and was wondering if anyone has a evinrude e-tech 2 stroke motor and any info on them. Some people tell me they are more economical than a 4 stroke and a much better engine and some people tell me that they are rubbish and that 4 strokes are better. If anyone has some valuable info to fill me in on that would be great.

Thanks

i was looking through kmart and came accross a jarvis walker overhead baitcaster reduced form $68 to $45 and im thinking of gettin it mainly for landbased action-----any ideas?
do you guys ever buy those cheap jarvis walker combos? ive bought a few and theyre good until about 3 or 4 months when the sart 'choking' up if you get what i mean.

Just wondering how the catch rate compares during the night as to fishing during the daylight hours.

I know some species like tailor & mullas are far better dusk/dawn/during the night.

But if tide, moon ect. conditions were equal, can anyone tell me if Dhuies, Pinkies, Skippy and the likes, are hungrier, same or forget it during the night hours 



Question 2: Do Wrasse ever sleep?

Jen from Exxy was on the radio and one record that looks to be set is a 149.2 kg Black Marlin on 15kg line class, previous being 50 something.
And InDeep looks to have another record possability with a Broadbill sawfish.
And the Exxy game fishing club has a Supergrand slam of 4 billfish in a day,Broadbillsawfish,Black marli, Blue marlin and sailfish.

Got family over from UK looking to go out for the day and I have had a good day out with these guys before but can't find their number anywhere. Does anybody know if they are still around?

250kg!

hi guys

i was wondering if it was to late in the year to try for some mullas in the river around chidleys point somewhere. any help would be great thanks.

Well I finally got time to do my Skippers ticket and I must say that I picked up on some new information which will help with the boating pleasure even more. For those NOR who are yet to obtain their RST I would highly recommend the Whitfords Sea Rescue team. I chose to do the complete 2 day training course which cost a small sum of $240.00 and am now a lot more wiser for it. Apart from having a great weekend on the course you can be proud to say that the funds go back into the Whifords Sea Rescue and who knows I may need to call on them some day. Almost forgot to add that the Sea Rescue people are all volunteers so thanks guys and girls for your efforts into making our waters safer for all.

P.S. Yes I passed

Cheers

looking at goin down to the garret rd bridge on sunday and wondering what your [prefs on bream and flathead lures as im goin shopping on either thursday or saturday

Does any body know where I can get , murry cod , yellow belly or Aust Bass from , prefer north of river  .

I want to put some in a tank , our gold fish died after we put a new fish in that had a disease and the other fish died within 5 days of the new fish being introduced .

I would love a murry cod or Bass in the tank just to see how they hunt and feed .

CHEERS , MAV

Thinking about getting a handheld VHF for emergency backup... Just wondering if anyone out there uses one and how their reception is?

thanks

These coming school holidays me and my dad are going away on a fishing trip just wandering if any 1 had any ideas.

these 3 spots are were we usually head 2 just wandering which 1 would be the best spot to go to and what type of species we are lookin at:

.Lucky Bay

.Coral Bay/Exmouth

.Esperance 

p.s we are shore based 

I am wondering if anyone has any authentic words on the salmon action down south. I have heard and read mixed reports with some suggesting that there is no action and others suggesting the opposite.
I am heading down Smith's Beach/Yallingup on Thursday so I am hoping that there may been some salmon seen around the area recently - or even better - heading that way.
Many thanks, Colin Hay

Gday all,

I'm heading to Esperance for the long weekend and was wondering if anyone knew what I might be able to get down there?

Reckon salmon will be floating around down there or will all be gone north?

Any suggestions on what beaches to try would be great, got a 4WD while im down there and a few quad bikes so no real restrictions on where to go


Thanks in advance!

A 24-year-old fisherman remains in a serious condition in Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital after he was bashed at a beach near Perth yesterday.

Police say he was hit over the head with a torch after a fight broke out with another man during a camping trip near the Alkimos wreck.

A 25-year-old man from Craigie has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm and will appear in court on Wednesday.

Sergeant Nick Steel says the victim faces a long recovery period.

"He still has extensive fractures to the face, including a broken jaw, several fractures around his upper head, one near his eye socket on the right hand side that's caused bruising and bleeding around the brain," he said.

Sergeant Steel says the man was on the phone to his wife just moments before the bashing and she called police for help.

"The lady's heard some of the commotion, heard some groaning and called the police straight away so it was very lucky that he happened to be talking to her on the phone at the time and our response was a little bit quicker.

Gday guys just wondering what the inshore fishing is like in the Karratha area? I'm moving up to Tom Price soon from Esperance, and will be hitting the coast for a fish as often as I can and was wondering if it was worth bringing my 375 rooftopper or is most of the better fishing done offshore in decent boats?

Pilbara Brad and Jay Burgess, you blokes would be in the know?

 Cheers for any help

I was just looking on a fishing site that sells gear from over in japan and singapore they are selling stella 20000 for only $650 do you think that they would be damaged or just cheap rip offs of the reel and it makes you think is it worth spending the proper amount and at least you know what you are getting because how can they afford to sell things half the price of everone else and still make a profit from selling the product is it really worth it and has anyone brought from a site like this?

Caught this yesterday any idea's what it is , I thought it was a foxfish?

hi everyone

I'm heading down to Busselton over easter just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what to go for? whats biting and also some good spots to go. beach, jetty also 20ft boat. any help would be appreciated.
thanks

headed down to the north wall of hillarys for an efternoon/evening session and ended up staying till 11 o'clock! caught 1 butterfish that engulfed the hook right ino its gullet so we had to snap its neck and get the hook out.
thats all the action we had for a number of hours but when i went for a walk upto the lighthouse, i saw these guys bringing in herring and yellowtail consistently with every cast! we only had the alvey out at the time so i decided to have a few casts and try to get me some herring and yellowies. 10 casts later i didnt have a set of gangs left on my rig!
met up with kaitan and he mentioned he might be going to the other side

Last night headed down to hilaries, thinking of going squiding and crabbing. When I arrive, it was crowded!!!! and on the jetty on the left side, as I walk down the steps....I saw a sambo and 3 red snappers was eaten!! clean on 1 side it's body....My thinking is that people went out on the charter and came back with the fish and decided that they didnt want it so they throw the fish back when it's dead. Anyone have any opinion about this?

so as usual the terrible wind forecast for this morning is not happening #$%@&%
