Got a 56.5cm breaksea cod yesterday which is my wife’s favourite eating fish , biggest I’ve  ever seen and well over 2kg , doubleheader with a 53cm dhu which was released.

forecast to hit our coast from a “superbomb” generated from 2 old cyclones in the west of the Indian Ocean. Reckon it will start coming on tonight.

 New boat on the way 7.8m moda centre cab twin 175 suzukis will post photos early February when it gets here will be selling my key west 225cc when the new one gets here 

 Snapshot of the video doing the rounds on facebook, the little fella looks a bit sick as has a fishing rig wrapped around his tail.

 least to say, while we bagged out

there is a certain boat, with a marone hull, (yes i have your rejo) that un three different drifts , on 3 different marks, you came and sat right on top of us. even after the abuse and finger pulling.........  but dw, im sure you caught nothing on thm as every mark we hooked on, would shut down instantly after the first fish was landed , wierd day on the water or  we were one step ahead of you and doing blind driftrs, to have you fishing barron desert.

clearly you cant catch shit, nor read sounders or have any idea how to catch fish on your own. i got no idea if you read this forum but if you do, just be aware it was noticed a by a cpl other boats  in the same general area, when returning to the boat ramp they came up ad had a yarn about it.

I am sorry FW for this rant, but vlearly quite frustrated about this,

 Hi all,

Heading down to Augusta in the morning for the week.

dragging the tub down(5.6m Quintrex). Was hoping to hear if there has been any good reports out in Flinders and around the islands.

Would love to get into th usual species, KGs, Snapper, Harlies and of course Dhueys.

Are there YT Kings in around the reef structure?

Any info/Tips would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all

 Im using an app called Fishing Points as a catch log and it has a weather funtion on it including tide data, however there are three options in the settings that read: Mean Lower Low Water, lowest Astronomical Tide and Mean Sea Level. Can anyone on here help me understand the difference so I can try set this up to function correctly ? Also if anyone has had good timez with this or any other apps fishing related I'd be interested in hearing. Cheers ! 

Got back Thursday from a week down in Esperance. Was the first time fishing from the boat down there. Heaps of islands to investigate. Got into some good fish out wide and some squid in the bay.

 Hi All

I will be heading up to Gnaraloo station for the first time with a few mates in May and was hoping some of you might have some tips or pointers for targeting some good fishing up there. I will be towing up my 6m Shark Cat and would love to get onto some gamefish if possible.

I am quite new to boating in WA so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Anyone running with this setup? Looking at upgrading my electronics, just confused by some info on furuno website, from what I understand you need a matching box to connect a 1kw tranny?? Extra $500 for a matching box, just want to know if it’s need for this setup or will the airmar tm260 for furuno plug in without needing this matching box??

 Off Mindarie today , bagged out on demersals by 7.30am , then chased the tuna for an hour and it was mayhem, stickbaits , sharks ( big 3m bronzies) diving birds and general chaos , red letter day and weather not too bad too. 

After weeks of shit wind happy to have a day out. 

Enjoy

 Hi Guys, l will be staying in Bunbury for a few weeks and l was wondering what the freshwater fishing was like. I will be arriving 9th Feb and not sure if it's even the right season. To be honest any type of fishing would be a bonus.

                                               Many Thanks Keith

 Where is ol mate, haven't read anything on here from him for ages??

 Heading to Bremer tomorrow with my second wife in tow. Never been or fished there before.

Just wanted a few ideas in which direction to head for fishing offshore. Boat length is 7m.

Cheers Stoinka

i went to my local nut and bolt supplier and bought a heap of unf bolts for an old car i`m restoring

and while i was there i asked about some 12g x 1 1/2" long stainless screws i needed for the boat

and they had them. 27c each so i bought a box. went to buy some spare bungs at my local boat

parts shop and thought i`d have a look at their stainless section and the same screws were $1.50 each,

pays to shop around.

 Been out every night since Monday & have maxed all licenses!! Snaring them to! Awesome fun! 

 So our time is up in Perth and heading back to broome via Exmouth after cyclone Joyce passes the weather for the whole state is amazing. 

Will be in Exmouth for a 3 night's and not sure what I should target I would love to get some prawns in the thrownet is that still possible this time of Year? 

How many miles are needed to travel to have a chance at dolphin fish?

Would like to launch places where not much off roading is needed and to get to the gulf is that possible  any advice or recent reports would be Great, 

Regards jm

Thinking about heading to Harvey dam this Friday night to camp the night, we wont get down there until about 5:30... Do you think Im dreaming if I think I will get a spot? Anyone who has been down there during marron season who could shed some light would be appreciated

Heading to Jurien in a few weeks and after any advice from those who have experience fishing there. Specifically, is your preference to drift or drop the pick when bait fishing? In general I drift when jigging or using plastics, but anchor and berley for soaking baits. Never fished Jurien (apart for skippy from the jetty as a kid) and wondering if there is any reason to change my methods

cheers

Hey all

My 2500 stradic ci4 handle won't wind. It has seized up. Always wash down with fresh water and dry it. Has recently been used almost daily and did go for a short swim off the Yak but was washed down immediately. 

Any ideas and ways to fix?

 Hello all not sure if its the correct forum..

Wanted help to identify boat i have purchased

5.5m had a 120 mercruiser 

Any ideas on the make or model are much appreciated cheers Trevor 

 Couple good  ones from last  week.

The Canal Rocks Action Group has organized a rally to show support to keep the boat ramp open , despite being shown that the report that the Minister has got his information from , is flawed , the government is still trying to push ahead with closing this Ramp.
Canal Rocks Ramp has been operating for 70 years with ought any major accident ( an ambulance has never been called for an accident on the ramp!), the government wishes to close the ramp due to safety concerns , if this can happen to Canal Rocks it could happen to MOST OPEN WATER RAMPS IN OUR STATE!
Canal Rocks Ramp is the only ramp in the Area servicing our small coastal community , the closure of this ramp will see the old Dunsborough ramp , Quindalup and Gracetown have to cater for the increase , all extremely busy ramps already.
The Naturaliste Volunteer Marine Rescue appose this closure as will add hour(s) to a rescue on this side of the Cape.
The Rally is happening at 3pm this Saturday (13th), Shuttle bus and parking has been organized along Canal Rocks Road , as well as our local football club putting on a sausage sizzle , there will be guest speakers including Taj Burrows and Jake Patterson .
If you Care please make the effort and be there!

must be sick to be in this close right?
looks like a broadbill - apparently it was spotted at woodmans point as well....

I'm soon heading to Mandurah and will be leaving the 6.15m ali boat in the water for about 5 nights. Will be doing a mix of fishing, crabbing and family cruises. My folks are ex locals and have a few good spots ready to hit up.

Anyone have any tips, particlarly in regards to leaving the boat in the water.

I'm also unsure as to the availability of trailer parking at the accomodation, if there is none available, does anyone know anywhere safe to leave it for a few nights?

 Hi guys , can anyone tell me how to remove the info bar on the RHS of my HD’s 7 gen 3 touch so I have full map screen? My last unit was a regular HD’s 7 and I didn’t have this info , I’ve mucked around with it several times with no success? Help! 

 Just for interest on sounder pics I pulled this off this the week before th ban ended on the first drop with a 120 gm jig targeting Sambos , the  Furuno 588 is pretty hard to beat in my opinion .
