Media Releases Cockburn crabs stock still needs more recovery time Date: Thursday, 22 November 2007

Righto fiswrecked people
I am getting a new boat made, a 5.2 meter.  I need a good trolling motor to go with it.  Please feel free to pass on thoughts and experiences.  Probably either  a 90 or a 115.  Any info is greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone has any good reccomendations for new fourby tyres for the patrol. Got cooper st's at the moment but was thinking of going for a more road oriented trye such as the AT. Given all of my driving is highway and beach I was thinking road oriented made more sense Quieter and better fuel, anyone got any other suggestions/stuff that they like. I had BFG's AT on last 4wd and were happy with them but I did a lot more dirt and mud driving then.

hmmm...me and my m8 planning to chase mulla late night this friday...anyone care to join us at the floreat drain? or anyone has any suggestion other place to fish for mulla?

We'll its taken it's time but finally here, Steve Correia "How To Catch A Fish" 2008 Edition (Fishing Year Book) on sale NOW.

The book is 150 pages of in depth fishing information with everything being very current. A definitive guide to 39 of WA and Australia's most popular fish including their history, life cycle and most importantly how to catch them. Steve's content is thorough and i've read alot of the books content over the years and have helped out with info also.

It's the most comprehensive current WA fish species guide for all anglers and some great photo's to go along with the book.

Only $15.95 and i have signed copys here also.

A good informative book indeed, overdue and more stuff to come apparently!

Any reports of anyone hitting Tuna out wide(or even better in close) yet. We got some nice Bluefin and a good yellowfin in NOv off Lancelin last year, but have not heard any reports yet???

 Now that it's the time of year for recreational divers to get some crays, I was wondering what kind of regs do you all own and how easy are they to use, breathe at deeper depths. I bought second hand regs from ebay from a guy in QLD for $550 a couple years back and was the best investment I made regarding diving.
 They are MARES proton ice regs and got a alt air source as the same one! They are a great first stage and second stage set up. So when anything goes wrong with the second stage, main reg, I'll just swap it over wuth the alt. air source reg, spare reg.
 I had them checked out and they haven't even been adjusted according to my local POM dive shop owner, Dolphin Dive in Welshpool. What do you use?

 Does any body here know how many muscles can be caught in the metro area. Also is there a size limit? In the past I have dived for them and caught roughly each time around half a cray bag full. They are all of a large size and very tasty. I went yesterday a matter of fact and cleaned them and cook them and then freeze them in containers until I need them. Also I ate a few raw which were awsome. Also the typical chilli muscles dish. Plenty around and I think I do the Marine Dept. a favour by getting them I reckon. Maintenace on there lines, hint!
 Any help would be appreciated peoples

HEY PEOPLE...so far the narrows r getting better...but heaps of blowies around.... my uncle,dad and I was fishing there last night...no bream bites at all...but we got a run on a decent size mulla....on fresh dead bony herring....it took the run almost from one side of the bridge to the other..which we had a unlucky crossed line with someone elses line...we lost the mulla.....and was a bit mad at that time...we fished till bout 12pm and decided it was time to go home.....we were fishing at the mills point area....and does any 1 knoes where could u buy live baits??boney herring, yellowtail...etc....thats my report for today...and also what are the good mulloway combo to use out there??thinking of something between 8 to 11ft would be good..thanks

It seems that i have heard of a few people not happy with me cancelling the landbased trip. I truely apologize for any inconvienence i have caused but i had something major like "buying a new buisness" to consider at the time and i had to pull out due to finalizing exsisting client deals and contracts at my old company so i could move foward into my own.

I will promise to get another trip on the way as soon as i can and "WILL" make it a goer :) However the new job is going to keep me away for a while and ill get onto it when i return.

PS: Make sure its still the best site around when i get back, see you guys in a couple of months...........

Cheers SPESS!

hi guys

i just want to put it out there and ask the question of what you all do for storage of tinny / small runabout fuel tanks. i have the usual 22ltr red plastic tanks and i keep them stored in my tinnie in the carport. I have found that when it gets anthing above about 25 degrees the fuel and fuel vapour expands. When the tank is pressurised due to warm weather the fuel leaks out of the brass fuel line connector.I come home and the carport skinks of fuel.

Is it best to leave the ventilation bung on top of the vank unscrewed so it can breathe? the only concern i could see with this would be the fuel evaporating and then the oil / fuel mix would be way too oily cos half of the fuel has dissapeared?

any idea's or suggestions of how you normally store yours and what you do to prevent this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Heading down to hillaries tomorrow arvo/night, fishing for tailor at "boyinaboat" near aqua, if anyone else is swinging by say hello, will be wearing a fishwrecked tshirt.
Cheers

Gday guys
first forum, headin down South coast way soonish. between augusta and Walpole. is there any good spots to sneak out and smash a couple reddies/dhuies in a 13 footer? i heard that windy harbour is really good but tricky....
any pointers?(apart from the white ones!)

Just got back from two weeks in exmouth, will post a bit of a report with pics once various fishing partners send them through. Wanted to give a big shout out to Adam for the tips and for coming fishing and catching every single fish for the day trolling (I have since added an orange cd18 to my collection). Also a big thanks to Ant from Bluewater who was forthcoming with info and tips. To any newbie to Exmouth go with low expectations and an open mind and set of ears. I consider myself to be a reasonably proficient fisherman, but local knowledge cannot be beaten, especially in a place with such variable weather and tides. It really was two weeks of learning, of which the biggest lesson is "don't go in November". Seriously fishy spot, and can't wait to get back and hopefully get at least a couple of days to get out wide.

hi just wondering if anyone is in the comp this sat,weather is looking a bit average at the moment,but that could change,cheers ray

Hi chaps, Still making up my mind on a l/b reel to fish beaches and rocks for Mulloway and tailor. Have heard good reports about the Tica Sportera baitrunner model. Has anyone tried one and does anyone know who may stock them locally.Any idea how much they cost, thanks Colin Hay
