Hey fellas
thinking of doing a night fish in cockburn with me bro but a little nervous about leaving my car and expensive trailer unattended and at the mercy of some of our less desirable friends.  thinking maybe woodmans point.  anyone know what the go is ?????

Cheers

Hey guys,

Consequent to nick's post that hes going to be at swan fish location from 7-8am sat and sunday, I wanna put it out there to see whos interested in a night fish this weekend?

Reason being, tide changes this weekend in the river are co-inciding with sunset which make an awesome combination for feeding bream which means sat night and sunday night will be awesome contenders to pull some horses out of the swan!

Anyone wanna head down burswood or east perth, maybe even the narrows on sat night or sunday night?

Im thinking of covering some ground at east perth and if nothing works, working the causeway, heirsson island and pond and then back towards burswood if that doesnt produce?

Just seeking numbers of interest because if we can get a crew together, it will make for a more memorable time...

although, be prepared to work ground, thus bring gear that you can move with :)

PM's or replies welcome.

Bass fishermen watch Monday night football, drink beer, drive pickup trucks and prefer noisy women with big breasts. Trout fishermen watch MacNeil-Lehrer, drink white wine, drive foreign cars with passenger-side air bags and hardly think about women at all.

[C]atching fish is as incidental to fishing as making babies is to fucking. ~William Humphrey


Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths. ~Author Unknown

hey guys im getting work done on my boat and im needing to paint it myself. Looking for marine paint. white for my quinny. Does anyone out there know a good place to buy some

 im thinking of having a bream fish thisarvo around  maylands or ashfeald  anyone want to give it a go with me ??

I'm looking for some help with getting into using soft plastics offshore. I would like to use them for a variety of fish from tuna/dollies to Pinkys and Dhufish. My problem is theres so many different types of plastics and jigs etc I just dont know where to start. I didnt want to just use the standard power grub as a bait replacement but try different types. I've been thinking of trying Snapbacks and Flick baits in the white/pearl type colours but I'll wait for experts thoughts b4 going out and buying some.

If anyone their thoughts on the following it would be much appreciated:

1) To Anchor & burley or Drift as normal
2) Jig head type/size
3) Plastic style - Shad/Worm etc
4) Colours
5) Retrieve methods

Now that Ive asked for all the answers can anyone give me some really good GPS points to try them out on as well - Just Kidding.

Hi All
Ant to take the boat for a run Monday but the bad weather makes me think Snapper in the Sound could be a good idea. Am I wasting my time fishing for them in the daytime ? I have never fished in the sound and would like to try and catch a pinkie if they can be caught in the daytime.
Any advice welcome , time of day , bait to use , where to try.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,

anyone wanna go for a fish in the river?

need a raincoat and ya gear, good times... but yeah.. need to know asap, pm me

Hi guys, does anyone out there own a 300 curado? I'm considering buying one as a barra reel, but my only concern is that it might not cast as well as the 200-sized curado, which I've used and liked. How does the 300 go throwing smallish lures like Flatz Ratz at snags? I want to get the 300 because the extra capacity would allow me to use it for trolling too. Planning to put 30lb braid on it. I currently use a calcutta 400, but compared to a curado, it feels pretty average to cast with.

Ian

custom GUSA 24kg spin/jig stick mint condition....$200

gday guys good opportunity for a young fella lookin for an aprentiship as a boat builder
good hours etc and great workstaff would be a great opportunity for a young bloke with a passion for  boats and fishing
pm me if your keen cheeers brenz.

Rules for the comp are going to be as simple as possible. Everything caught gets measured and logged on a piece of paper. At the end of the comp the papers must be handed in to either Tim or myself to be eligible for a prize. Start time 6-30am and finish by 11-00am with prizes awarded around 11-30am. BBQ lunch provided from around 12-00pm.

To ensure everyone plays ball, we will split everyone into pairs, whereby the other angler must sign your scorecard (just like in golf) to confirm your catch. So it is important to ensure your fishing buddy for the day verifies each and every fish caught. Details of who the pairings will be will be posted shortly, sorry but they won;t be father son teams or best buddy teams, but there is nothing stopping you fishing next to your buddy if that's what you want to do.

The list you draw up must have the anglers name, species caught and length (jaw to tail fork). with signature of buddy angler at the bottom.

Prizes for the Swan fish comp will include the following:

Cash $100 approx
Tackle vouchers $150 (Courtesy of Compleat Angler Joondalup)
$110 voucher for a 2 hour massage (Courtesy of Alfred)

Some flexibility in prizes will be expected depending on what gets caught on the day and how many end up entering.

Prize categories will include longest fish, most fish, largest total catch length and classic catch.

As was the case with the NOR v SOR comp we will offer up some cash for best photo taken on the day, so make sure you take a heap of pics and load them up on the site for Bruiser to judge. If you still have some pics from either comp that haven't been seen yet make sure you remember to load them up otherwise you miss out on the chance at a prize. I will try and get some movie footage of a few of you fighting some monster bream and telling us all your secret techniques and splice the best bits up to load onto the site for all to have a laugh at.

The NOR v SOR comp presentations will include several prizes, including Champion Angler, who will receive the coveted trophy and a $120 voucher for Landscape or Horticultural consultation courtesy of Jody.

Second place overall will receive a $50 Hogsbreath voucher
Third place will receive $25 cash.

I still have the shirt, siglet & beanie to give to Kal and his team for the NOR champion boat category and also Steve's trophy for champion angler.

As for the BBQ

We (Fishwrecked) will be putting on a sausage sizzle, (sausages, buns, onions and sauces) so there should be plenty to eat for everyone, unless you want to bring down some of your own food, then that's fine. As for drinks we thought it would be best for everyone to BYO, given we can't cater for everyone's tastes. We will probably have a few soft drinks available but not a lot.

Depending on our budget we may even cook up some bacon & eggs for those fishing the comp in the early morning. Tim will give more detail on that later on, since he is likely to be the chef at that time in the morning.

Just Wondering if anyone has tried night fishing out from Ocean Reef marine at the back of 3 mile reef. Would like to give it a go for Pinkies and Dhuies when the weather is nice.
Have you tried it and what were the results at what time of year.
Thanks
Paul

Congrats to you sherbert for entering the highest users club! Been great to meet such a good bloke and avid fishing partner. Cheers mate and best of luck. Spess.

hey guys.....this saturday the weather and tides are looking fine..and i might head down for a mulla fish....r there any suggestions on where or what....if there is not i might juz head down to the harbour at eshed....any one that could make it there could be great....pls be free to pm me if i wanna meet me there or some other plans....

I have heard the pinkies have been in the sound lately. Went out on friday night for them but the anchor rope got sliced by braid on a big first run from something so had to leave. Can anyone point me in the right direction for pinkies, i was thinking in between garden and carnac but if anyone has caught any lately and is willing to tell where would be greatly apreciated

Looking to set up new boat with colour sounder, never had colour before and getting differrent feedback on breeds, what do you thinks the best and most important easy to use

I need some direction here from people who have done it. I have a week off around the new moon in October and want to head North, was originally thinking Onslow and hit Thev, but I was wondering is there anywhere people can recommend that is a bit closer that will not be too risky with regards to weather. I am towing the boat up and was tossing up gnaraloo or just going to exmouth or coral bay as I have never been to either. For anyone who has fished these around oct novemebr what are some pros and cons/advice. I am mainly looking to throw some big poppers and chase pelagics so the bottom fishing is not a big concern wherever I go. Is Kalbarri worth a look, or too rough?
Thanks in advance. 

Heading down to the old swan brewery with spess and my son, Spess is trying his luck at mulloway and iam going for bream, Report tomorrow if it turns out ok

Looking for someone to do the annual service on a Yamaha 115           4 stroke. Currently been getting my Boat Serviced with a well known Boating Sales and Servicing outlet. ( not sure on the protocol with regard to naming them ) Purchased boat from new and felt that it makes sense to have them do the service on it. But after numerous problems occurring after each service have decided it is time for a change. Was hoping somebody could make a  recommendation.
Cheers
