I dropped down to Hillarys at the crack of dawn yesterday. The weather wasn't great, but it was going to be better than today
As those who ventured near the ocean yesterday know it was a bit windy and there was a fair swell. But that didn't seem to bother a few nutters. This included four young guys in a very small aluminium dinghy which was almost down to the gunnels even before it left the harbour, and three guys on a jet ski, one of whom was about 10 years old. Even the charter boats were getting battered getting out yesterday so I don't know what these guys thought they were up to.
I noticed the volunteer rescue people were warming up their boat expecting some trouble,
All the best, Colin Hay

Righto o

If you have never caught a barra in your life then this will be your opportunity. All you have to do is get to karratha this season and i will do the rest.
Up a creek fr two night, ill provide the gear, the swag, the piss and put you on to a good fish in a couple of nice spots up our remote pilbara region. I guarantee it will be a truly unique experience, im sure we could even tie up the trip with MR Fishwrecked himself to come along. All proceeds will go to Fishwrecked.com
Jump on board, ill start the Bids at $100

OK in line with Paul and Jesse's auction, I will also make the SS Mackattack available and take out the two highest bidders (donators) in this auction to visit the imfamous "dropzone" plus a few other sensational spots. Including the spot where Kasey caught his 24kg Dhuie on jig, plus other spots where several of the Mindarie Mayhem vids were shot. Departing Mindarie Marina.

All bait and fuel supplied plus you keep what you catch, and if you catch nothing you get some of my fish to share as is usual on my boat.

Can't guarantee a big fish but I'll put you on some of my best spots and we will give it a red hot go I can assure you.

All you need to bring is food and drink for the day plus 2 rod & reel outfits and necessary terminal gear.

Flexible with dates and times (subject to weather). But also subject to my missus letting me out for the day (hehehe).

Auction closes midnight Sunday 28th September.

All proceeds to help support fishwrecked. 

Cheers

Rumour has it, the lowest tide all year is the 4th of October, and you can walk out on the reefs and pluck the painted crays!!!?!?!?!???

Im in Karratha for that week!!!

Anyone else up there know is this is correct?

Well the Missus has given me the green light on getting my first Kayak.....she is calling a Christman present from her to me... how that works i dont know!!

But im quite new to the kayak environment (Eventho ive used them a fair bit in the past) but ive never bought one.

So what im chasing is some guidence on possible kayaks to buy.

Basically i want to be able to use it for all sorts of fishing... cockburn sound, Ocean fishing down south, river fishing, and trout fishing

The things ive seen i would like to have is

1. the peddle wings for movement.
2. atleast 2 storage compartments.
3. single seat
4. Sounder, and possibly GPS depending on price.
5. atleast 2 rod holders.

Budget, well i dont really have one, but i would like to keep it under $2,500.

i will also be buying a 2nd one aswell, as the missus says she wants one as well, altho i see my mates getting more use!!

So if anyone can point me in the right direction and has some suggestions would be appreciated..

Cheers
Bodie

Crazy

Gday people just letting u know theres a new tackle shop opening in karratha it will be called JUST TACKLE stay tuned for opening dates. cheers skinny!

Had some old footage that I cut up and put into a small vid. The water was very dirty and green and we could only dive 3-4m as it was hard to see the fish. The video will show that. I've put it up on you tube as its not really good enough for the site. Just a teaser of what I hope to capture when we get some nice weather and good visibility.  Also had bugger all bottom time from a big night the night before...

I was out on Tuesday and had 3 manta rays swimming around me which is one of the most awesome experiences I've had, they just came in and sussed me out. Unfortunately the water was too green then and I couldn't get any good footage. :(

Norman Moore has been namded as the new WA Fishing Minister.
It will be interesting to see what direction he heads in.
I have met him a few times and he is a decent bloke, but can be led by other people in the party and not follow his own beliefs,
All the best, Colin Hay

just checking if anyone will be there on that date? between 9am - 3pm

hello all I spent a lot of time reading the banter last night on the V5 ban and have taken the advise to make a lot of noise to get this new government to at least look at this ban fairly to all it a small start but i rang 6PR which is where Barnett said he would look at the ban i will ring again tomorrow and again and again if all that had something to say before did the same it may start the ball rolling keep the press on and we may get a fairer result not this bs at the moment
