Hi guys looking for a egi rod under $150 thats good for LB and is a good proper egi rod ( Heard some rods are labelled as Egi But Arent)

Going to bring the boat (Haines Sig 6.1m) this weekend, just to explore the river and maybe find some bream.

I believe the mouth was broken very recently.  Does that mean there won't be enough water in the river to navigate safely?  According to Transport department's boating guide and Navionics, there should be 1-2m for a stretch?  Or is that dependent on the mouth being closed? 

Hey everyone

Heading down to manji this weekend for a bit of fishing and riding. Have been going every year for quite a while, trout can be few and far between around the one tree bridge area on the Donnelly. Would be able to travel anywhere within an hour for a bit more action with the trout. Any help on locations appreciated. Cheers

Hey Guys, 

Getting a new car in the new future, and what to get something that can tow a boat (eventually), 

Iv'e been looking at an old (1998-2003) subaru outback wagon, is awd, 

Hoping to eventually get a centre console boat, and was wondering what size boat the car would be able to tow (if at all), and how it would handle launching off a boat ramp, 

would also be looking to do some light offroading with it, 

Just chasing peoples experiences or opinions on the matter, 

Any other suggestions that match the criteria would be greatly appreciated, 

Thanks, Sharkhunter1

Hey fellas

>Someone told me me that the rod takes around 66% of the load. So even though a reel may have 5kg max drag you need a 15kg load on the end of the line to exceed this.

How true is this statement? 

So in essence even though the max drag is 5kg, 30lb(15kg) line and a 30lb rod would be best if you want all your gear to be on the same failure plane.

Thanks

 Ive put up two other forums one about herring with maggots and the other about burley, because im new to fishing i dont really know any rigs i know about like a burley cage a abour 3ft of line to a long shank but thats about it. So im gonna need your guys help about some rigs(Fishing from woodmans point rocks)

Does anyone know if this product is avalible in Aust ?

 Had a pretty good night fish in the 40's off hillarys fri night with some smallish pinks , monster sambos and a pB red snapper , then came in for a few hours sleep before heading out for another session yesterday in close on light gear then out to the 40/50's off hillaries agsin , got a ripper sambo in 14m on 10lb jig  plus some skippy to 60cm and some unstoppable beasts then a couple of smallish dhu and a good Baldie out deeper later plus a couple of sharks and several more sambos .just dropped of the boat to be prepared for display st the boat show this weekend. Racked up 30 hours since picking it up last Friday afternoon! 

 Just trying to have a look through the fish identification guide n when I click on it it says I'm not authorised to access.

Is this because of loosing images that were on photo bucket or has else something changed ?

 I was wondering a good burley recipe for herring i usually use jut pollard mixed with fish oil but it seems to me its just to plain any good things to add?

 Went out with frank (froos) on here.left hillarys about 3 pm.burlyed up then got a just undersize pinkie, got the tagging kit out (thought it was a jinx).its was slow 2 small dhus and a fugu.haven't  been getting much lately  so i rigged up a snell rig with 15 kilo mono trace, 10 kilo line.put it out just before dark.got a huge hit and run and got this 800 big fat pinkie.it was touch and go for awhile.we had 5 lines turned into macrame.fished on fir awhile and left.perfect night out and there was lots of boats out.

 mmmm, well its been well documented for my entry into the deep drop fishing scene......

it started off with a naught, but then a bang and a 37kg puka...... sadly as most of you, (if you read my posts) i have struggled since and 7 trips since account for 0. It was apparent it seemed each trip i would make signifiance steps in the right direction, whether albiet ground, fish on sounder , learing to understand setting driffs, understanding sounder settings you named.....there is too much to learn!
 

well yesterday, a crewman pulled through and off we went, with a lil bit of confidence in my step with the soundings i found last week, high hopes were had.the easterly was far more sloppy then predicted for the morning, anyhoo of pushed.....

i struggled quitr hard sounding in the short sharp easterly chop out there,still the wind started settling around 11 am. just a magnitude of green eyes. cant get away from the bastards.

come 5pm we had hit all mysoundings from the week before for 0......nothing, and even tried the 450-500 for nothing bar XOS green eye. I started cracking the shits big time and basically said, we are going on, we will sound the 200-220mline for a few miles before heading in. after about 10 mins of sounding something odd  came up on the sounded after the 220m edge. It looked what i thought was coral and soft structure on a much harder bottom..

last drift then in i tell the decky. i drop = green eye  he drops = dropped a good fish just after hook up..... hmmmmm , one last drift on sunset then.

i go first and instantly on the bottom i finally have head shakes........ and a few mins later up popped my first 15 kg greyband.....about time its beeen along time between fish in terms of my deep dropping ( i think 6 full days out there), a frustrating thing for me was i completely messed my sounder settings up mid morning and didnt get reading the way ilike till the 200 sounding!

so end result, another slow day,  but i did learn a bit in terms of some skills i need to suss to get this deep drop code cracked...... absolutely gutted i couldnt find any of the showins from last week but its all a learning curve

So, 2 down, 2 to go!

GREYBAND 15kg
 

PUKA 37kg

PERTH METRO BASS  (i have caught a few 40+ in NZ) ???????

BLUE EYE ????
 

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a decent, reliable upright freezer, around 200 litres, that I can expect to last for a few years.

My Westinghouse upright has died, found out Tuesday when I went to get some fillets out for a feed. Although everything had defrosted (Dhuie, red emperor, bluebone, robbo, rankin, est cod, cobia, wahoo, redthroat  and more as well as chicken, chops, steak and roasts) everything was still cold and hadn't yet gone off. Couldn't re-freeze, but at least I was able to phone family and mates and give it away before it bad.

Freezer is only a little over 7 years old.

Went to a local retailer last night and there was a selection of only 3 brands, Westinghouse (that I wouldn't be keen to buy again), Haier or Hisense.

Salesman reckons life expectancy of any of these is only 3 to 6 years, hardly woth considering if that is the case.

Any recommendations ? Needs to be upright, don't have floor space for chest type.

Thanks in advance.

Enjoy

Update on S9 and Trip with link to photos & video

Sorry folks but only just had chance to coallate and respond to queries above.

I have attached a link to Photos, Video, Costs of our trip to Bernier Island 50KM west of Carnarvon in new Sailfish S9.

Included costs incase any body planning a similar trip, and show fuel usage /day (first fill $409.60 top up low tanks) we budgeted $1200 each, came in at  $1173 per person (4 in Sailfish) (3 in Legend)

Recommend Carnarvon Motel, they were great giving us 2 rooms at back of motel for 5 days and an area to park boats with washdown facilties, let us use our weber bbq as well as dining in the motel buffet, not to mention the hot showers, tv, double beds, aircon.

Yep were all old boys (45-55) and want to fish in comfort these days, done my time in caravan parks in swag. 

The trip was just fantastic with the boat performing to all my expectations. Weather was great for first 3 days, Blew out wednesday which was good as a lay day, make rigs

fix dek wash, snooze, old boy fisho's worn out..... 

Fishing was harder Thu/Fri due to swell, found best way to get baldies was to duck close into cliffs (50m) between swell drop and idle back out (always skipper on helm). Pretty well bagged out each day except first, took a while to find fish.

As requested above Photos of Gauges at 27.3Kn at 4000rpm burning 0.9L.km (53.7L/hr for both 200hp yamies)

 Just putting it out there.

Great White kills ........ they are protected and when you swim in their water you take that chance.

Magpie blinds toddler...... they are protected and you take your chances whenever in their territory and yet they kill the bird.

Ther is something wrong here you be the judge,

Friday night just let me know.

 Yea hi guys finally caught my first 3 dhuies for first 3 drops of our drift. Frst one 54cm released, second 8.3kg kept and third 50cm released. Dont taste to bad either...

Yea the West Australain Dhufish 

 hey,

Where can i go out on the boat (5m) to catch some rat sambos not to far out? south of freo as well.

struggling to find crew and i am awaiting one last contact......

PM ME if interested, please consider the following

1) not guarenteeed fish - its fishing!
2) please if you get sea sick dont pm me

fuel can be anywhere from $150-$220 pending onc crew numbers, no need for rods or gear.

fishing NOR. but you meet me in scarborough. 

Gday All, been hanging around here enough for last couple of weeks, thought I better post and introduce myself.

Live and fish out of Karratha way so pretty lucky there. Boat wise I'm just downsizing from a 23ft Key West to a 615 Bar Crusher side console that should be ready in next few weeks - decided I need something for both creeks / mid range off shore that I can easily put in myself.

Picked up some pretty good tips already from posters here so looking forward to contributing a bit more. Pretty good bunch of people in general WA fishos.

Lastly, in the interest of disclosure I thought I'd better warn everyone that Ive got crabs (caught a couple of weeks back).. Apparently theres shampoo or something that can get rid of them but these are a bit bigger than normal... :)

Finally worked out how to add a photo so I'll put some warning shots up so you know what to look for..

Cheers.

 Sounds bad that the gearbox could fall off! Saw them building them the other night on 'how it's made' and no mention of this being a feature

 Hi everyone, i recently baught myself a curado 70 with 10lb pe 0.6 braid. I have been micro jigging small pinks, skippy, tarwhine etc of the boat. I want to get a gomoku for it but since they dont sell the green in overhead anymore, would the erito be to heavy? main target fish is 0 - 4kg but sometimes i might have fun on big pinks or salmon. Thanks.
