Agonised about where to fish today. Two Rocks for demersals or go chase some KGW.

Decided to chase kgw and managed to find 5. Sizes varied between 47 and 52cm.

Pretty happy to land our target species.

Thanks for the info Oceanside Tackle 

Does anyone know where you can buy fish tags? I want to start tagging the fish I release to keep track of recapture rate/survival and fish growth.

cheers

 Got into a few pinks on the weekend,  biggest 88cm got smoked by a few too and my deckie Craig busted my Black gomoku after I let him take the 4th hookup of the day - ouch , 24 metres off Freo -anchor and burley session with mulies for bait .

 So i did some reading, watched some videos and i ended up going with the Z man 7" scented jerk shadz in nuked chicken and glow paired up with 3/8 1/2 and 3/4 oz weights with 5/0xh jig heads. Then a z man 9" grubz in neon pink.

How does this sound for snapper and dhuies in 10 - 18m of water

gday all just wondering if anybody on here has done trips to abrolhos in Sept/Oct, I had a quick look at the annual wind data averages at the islands and it looks like the wind tends to be lower end Sept / beginning Oct, we want to plan our first trip but dont want to wait till April/ May when most people tend to go - any info muchly appreciated thanks

Got a mate on his way to Exmouth who has only fished there on a billfish charter previously. As a result he needs some advice on current fishing conditions. I have fished there quite a bit but not recently so I don't feel qualified to give the advice needed. He'll be fishing in a 5.5m plate ali out of Tantabiddi, and fishing with another larger boat.

He is looking for best depths and locations to troll for billfish, and also might troll some divers for mackies at other times. For bottom fishing he can find his own spots and I've told him to move whenever he gets sharked (which will be often based on reports this year!).

Would also like to know where to find weed beds that might hold squid.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

 Hi just wondering what the snapper catches down at Dunsbourgh have been going? Was thinking of heading down there one day next week.

Enjoy just made it back from Bali before the Volcano erupted some say good new some say bad news

 Hey guys,

So I plan on drifting with a few different whole baits and plastics. Burleying up and in the late arvo.

I noticed there’s a channel or trench a few km’s from woodmans point and a reefy area near the coast (a few km’s) south of the marina. Are these good areas to start in? Or will I see where all the boats are.

Cheers

Gday all - any idea on what the weed and beach situation is like at the moment, or will be after this swell? Thanks.

G'day blokes and blokettes just wondering if anyone has a Spherios 14000FA that they no longer use as I'm chasing a bail arm for mine (no longer available, have checked on line), cheers

Hey peeps. I'm starting to get back into my fishing since my amazing trip to Coral Bay. Only issue is i don't have a boat so short of continually going on charters, I need to start working on my land based skills. I tried some fresh water fishing in Dwellingup the other day and wasn't overly successful, so wondering what apps / websites people use that i can start keeping track of weather, tides, and anything useful for fishing. I downloaded the recfishwest app and loving that so far for fish information, but wouldn't mind learning about all the other stuff as well as good locations to fish land based that people have fund successful. Thanks everyone.

 I'm no tree hugging greenie or environmentalist but I do know that this is not a good look for Main Roads. They could of pumped that water into the truck and disposed of it at a treatment plant or something.

https://www.communitynews.com.au/western-suburbs-weekly/news/mains-roads-wa-investigating-black-floodwater-pumped-into-sand-and-water-at-port-beach/

MAIN Roads pumped floodwater potentially contaminated with road oil and tyre fragments onto sand and into the sea at Port Beach, North Fremantle last week.

The incident happened at about 1pm on Wednesday, June 26.

Witness Peter McLarty saw two men in a truck pumping “black water” from a drain opposite the former Ampol fuel and truck depot on Port Beach Road for about 30 minutes.

Water appeared to be taken from the drain’s sump on the road, across remnant man-made dune dunes covering the depot, over part of the beach and before creating a channel and flowing into the sea.

The site was exposed to the sea in 2003 storms, and Mr McLarty said beachgoers had since seen a “heavy black matter on the previously white sands”.

He said the pumping again showed WA’s environmental laws were not being applied at Port Beach, which has been heavily eroded, exposing historic dredging rubble and contamination including asbestos, since January.

G'day all

I have a roadmaster trailer that has good running gear and I have just overhauled the brakes, so in general it's in pretty good nick. 

But I am not happy with roller/slide set up for my 6.8mt Haines, and want to upgrade.

just wondering if anyone knows of a place that does this type of work and will install a roller set to suit my boat. (Not just provide the gear)

thanks all!!

 Can anyone I.D this rock cod type fish? I have never caught one before. It was bycatch when I was out targetting Snapper in New Zealand

Does anyone target mulloway from a boat through cockburn/ warnbro sounds or inshore outta reefs. Im trying to do some research, anyone get consistant mulloway. They have to live somewhere through the rough cold winter months. Cheers

 Anybody been up to Steep Point recently?  if so whats the track condition like?

Cheers,

 Hey I’m experiencing a few trailer issues and hoping someone can recommend a mobile trailer mechanic. I’m in the rockingham area. Apologies if this topic has been covered. I couldn’t find any information on it.

Many thanks

 Hi guys.

I have put some rods and reels in the buy/sell/swap section. If anyone is interested, please pm me.

Cheers

Can anyone tell me the model and approximate year of this Penn Reel? My old man has had it for years.

Also have an old Spint which was my pops, I used to use it surf fishing on the east coast and it still works perfect. Does anyone know what happened to Spint? 

Although past their time, both these reels handle the test of time better than any of the new stuff!

 Hit up the local this morning after 2 hot coffees 

I met brown364 at rather chilly time of 4.30am 

flicking mullets strips hoping for that beach pink

Hi all

I know the general ground to look for. Just looking for information on when they start to be there in numbers?

Are they there now or is spring/summer the best time to get them there?

Also, does anyone have a diagram or can describe the rig Doug Clegg used to use, cant find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Jamie
