squid theory

squiding test I have done reciently with novice squiders is that at the moment Yellow prawn shapes are catching 3 times as many sqiud as other colours.





Pick up some new jigs today

At a great price 150g to 200g 5.00 each/ 350g 7.00each/ and 400g  9.50 each

Jap Twinpower or New Sustain

For around the same cost I can either get a Jap twinpower 4000 or one of the new Sustain 4000FE's. The new sustain looks like a fine piece of machinery and I'm tempted to go with it despite it being the more deerer of the two. I've also heard very good reports about the Japanese twin power so I'd like you're oppinions please.


Duo Jig rod or Uglystick

Just want some opinions of anyone that has used these rods or knows something about them.

Last jig rod was broke on the weekend (stripped of the eyes) but was only $20 so looking at upgrading.

Tossing up in my head

uglystick (probably a black tiger)
duo jig rod

DEEP DEAN

Hey guys just an enquiery in to a fishing trip i had last year, last year i was lucky enough to get time off and go fishing around the augusta area for salmon i went to cosy corner and got a few salmon good enough and 1 sambo bust of round a rock :( but my question is in regaurds to DEEP DEAN i have heard few people mention it as a good fishing area  and a real deep beach now i acessed this beach via elephant rock and to me it didnt look that deep ? am i looking at the right spot or do i have to head further around the beach to find deep water cheers Alex!!:)


yellow tail

caught a heap of herring this morning and amoungst them were many yellow tail type fish about the same size and as aggressive to the bait.
Are these any good to bqq with the herring?


Coral Bay Boat Ramp - Opens 7th October

I've got the word from a few locals down at Coral Bay that the new boat ramp will be officially opened on the 7th of October. Last weekend when I was there they only had to finish painting the lines in the carpark. I know it will reduce environmental impact on Bills Bay, but when July school holidays come and 50 boats are trying to retrieve it should make things very interesting.

Cheers,
Adam


any body goin out monday ??

weather is lookin good 2morrow anyone goin out??


Another good day

Got invited out by Jody this morning fished out from Cottosloe was a quiet day on the water for me where as Jody was both the Skippy and Sambo Queen if it wasnt her flicky rod going off her larger spiiner was,there were fish left right and centre,not sure if it was her pink line that she was useing!mmmm
Jody was the perfect hostess,great little boat and great conditions
Best of all while cleaning her boat at her place her daughter came out with some afternoon tea


Great way to spend the day


Deckie next week

On hoilday for another week, if any 1 is going out next week i would like to jump on board

Pay my way  and bait

Baby sambos

does anybody have a tried and true artificial they use for baby sambos in the river. every lure i try comes up with little- to- no reward.  


Medium Plastics Rod

I'm after a plastics rod that's going to be used casting 5" Snapbacks and other similar sized plastics on a 4000 sized spinning reel with 20lb braid. It needs to be able to cast light jig heads into the wind on a bad day but also have enough grunt to pull Trout and Bluebone out of the reef. I'm thinking something around the 6-8kg range would be ok, preferably between 6'-7' (one piece). Don't really want to spend over $180-$200.

Any suggestions?


Power Knobs!

Gday fellow fisho's,

I've been recently seeing all these Power Knobs being introduced to the fishing reels. I was just wondering can you get any knobs for Bream Reels? They look absolutly awesome but the only thing is that I've only seen them designed for Shimano, Daiwa etc. Is it possible to find any for like Penn Affinity and that?

Cheers Lads.


Deckie Needed

Waiting for a phone to confirm it call but at this stage it looks like I will need a deckie for tomorrow.

Heading out from Pt Peron and could end up fishing anywhere depending on weather. Even got a couple of spots to try in 200 odd mtrs if the weathers as good as predicted. Most of the day will probably be spent in 60 - 100m tho.

PM if your interested.

Spheros 8000 v Stella 8000 for $$$

Has anyone got a spheros 8000 and experience good or bad with these reels? The one main combo I'm missing is something between my spheros 14000 (15kg mono, 65lb braid spools) and my applause 4000 (6kg braid). Its a bloody big gap thats missing there for all my spinning work and I need something inbetween to fix the void. I wanted to get a stella 8000, but not sure on the price vs spheros. I saw that the spheros was $150 or so in bluewater exmouth yesterday, so can only assume they are much cheaper online. Has anyone bought a stella 8000 online and got a good price in comparison to being able to buy a spheros which may not be as tough/$$$, but still more than capable of handling good fish.

Cheers,
Adam


rotto containers

gidday all does anyone know where i can get co ords of rotto containers cheers ( north and south conts) cheers craig


Mindarie Night Fish - expedition

I think this has been done before, any of the northerners (southerners can come aswell) want to get together for a Night fish out from mindarie sometime in the future.

not organising anything, just putting it out there.

Cheers
Dean


Shimano Fireblood

Got my hands on the 2008 Shimano Catalogue today and noticed the new Fireblood spinning reels. Look pretty nice with their dark grey body and red trim. I think I will need to get my hands on a 4000 for a 20lb plastics outfit for after the barra season.

Any idea on prices and when they'll be available in tackle shops?


Grand Final 2007 Geelong Cats vs Port Adelaide Power.

Gday fellow fisho's.

Who's your tip to win the Premiership Cup and the Norm Smith Medal for best on ground?

For me Geelong Cats - they deserve it and for the Norm Smith I go for Joel Corey from Geelong Cats.


Exxy early November anyone?

    Gday fishos!

Am planning for a trip of landbased fishing at Exmouth early this November (Leave about 4/5/6 November). Will be up there for about a week to do mad amounts of landbased fishing (maybe a trip out with boat charters if possible). Hence, i am looking for anyone who is interested to be a fishing buddy/buddies to join the trip! PM me for more details :) Thanks for reading guys!

golf





A Catholic priest and a nun were taking a rare afternoon off
and enjoying a round of golf.

The priest stepped up to the first tee and to ok a mighty swing.
He missed the ball entirely and said "Shit, I missed."

The good Sister told him to watch his language.

On his next swing, he missed again. "Shit , I missed."

"Father, I'm not going to play with you if you keep swearing,"
the nun said tartly.

The priest promised to do better and the round continued.

On the 4th tee, he misses again. The usual comment followed.

Sister is really mad now and says, "Father John, God is going to
strike you dead if you keep swearing like that."

On the next tee, Father John swings and misses again.
"Shit, I missed."

A terrible rumble is heard and a gigantic bolt of lightning comes
out of the sky and strikes Sister Marie dead in her tracks.



And from the sky comes a booming voice .......
"Shit, I missed."
 


Favourite Barra Lure

Just wondering what your favourite barra lure is and what sort of success you've had on it. It's the one fish I can't wait to crack, might have to come and visit you Karratha boys soon. Any pics would be great too.

Cheers,
Adam
